The Lynx Effect

My wonderful husband finally got back into the workforce at the beginning of this week. He went away for a couple of days for induction, and came home Tuesday night well pleased with himself.
Wednesday morning he was up early and ready for a long drive for the next lot of training on a different section of the business.
I woke up choking, with mucous filling my nose and throat, just before he was ready to leave. I could smell body spray, and thought he had used it in the bathroom, not closing the door.
I was wrong! He had used it outside the front door to try and protect me from the asthma it can bring on. The air current had blown it indoors, upstairs, and in to the bedroom, where I had the worst reaction yet. I had to clear my airways fast, so I ran if you can call my waddle a run into the bathroom grabbed a toilet roll. snatched some to clear my airways and had to find somewhere that the propellent hadn't reached. The clearest room was the living room. having done another clearing of the airways on the stairlift on the way down, and another on reaching the living room I took Piriton. This seemed to take an age to kick in. I also used both my inhalers to help ease my breathing. I was exhausted by the time it all settled down, and so weak I could barely stand. I spent most of the day in bed.
The cause, Lynx body spray.
It has had a knock on effect on another allergy of mine which is highly inconvenient. I had a low level latex allergy that affected breathing and broken skin. Now It has burnt my skin on the knicker line, So I am now touch sensitive too. New underwear must be found fast.
