I swear that phase started with my peers at the beginning of high school (which is grade 7 here). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734991 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:50:09 +0000 mrs. 64 734991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I had to have a stern talk with my (2nd grade) class when the boys went through a cologne phase. There is no way I could teach middle school with all the Axe body spray going around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734915 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:21:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 734915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't tolerate perfumes. Even lovely ones eventually give me a migraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734905 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:19:02 +0000 lioneyes 734905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i get headaches from really strong perfume. i get nauseous from the smell of cigs. the past few days, every time i've been walking on the street, someone smoking is in front of me, walking so slowly, and i can't pass them,and it's gag inducing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734780 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:44:49 +0000 IRunForFun 734780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh yeah, cigarette or any type of tobacco smoke does it to me too. We live above a guy who smokes pipes and cigars and sometimes the smell drifts up...ugh, so nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734612 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:47:47 +0000 pui 734612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh man I should have mentioned that! I can't stand the smell of cigarettes (or other things you smoke). It instantly makes me feel ill. I don't get headaches from it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734601 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:46:20 +0000 mrbee 734601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah every time I pass someone toking up, I get an instant headache!!</p> <p>I feel bad because I normally don't care what other people do! It really does a number on me though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734599 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:45:39 +0000 Happygal 734599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes--scented candles and strongly perfumed lotions are top offenders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734594 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:45:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 734594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I hate candles and a large percentage of perfumes. And I really hate plug-ins and air sprays. Instant headache and nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734587 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:42:48 +0000 IRunForFun 734587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I'd call it headaches, exactly, but some strong smells give me a car sick feeling. Just a fuzzy head and a vaguely nauseous feeling. Scented candles and cleaning solutions are the worst offenders. We no longer burn candles and when we do a deep-clean we have to open all the windows, no matter how cold it is outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734554 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:35:51 +0000 regberadaisy 734554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much ALL perfumes give me a headache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734551 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:35:25 +0000 heffalump 734551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get migraines so I have to stay away from most strong smells. I won't buy candles, I try to get everything unscented, I've never worn perfume, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734229 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:48:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 734229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - it is a trigger to my migraines. Usually, it is just a heavy scent of air fresheners or perfumes/ colognes . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734223 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:46:50 +0000 Alivoo01 734223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No headaches, but I'm really sensitive to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734199 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:38:22 +0000 .twist. 734199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. I don't know about strong, necessarily, but artificial smells REALLY bother me/give me headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-strong-smells-give-you-headaches#post-734164 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:25:59 +0000 pui 734164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really love the smell of coffee (although I don't drink it). Recently though, one of my coworkers brought a coffee machine to our relatively small office and started making pots of coffee 2-3 times a day. At first I liked the smell, but since it's kinda strong and constant, it's been giving me headaches! </p>
