Perfumes and other scents are a cause of allergic reactions or asthma attacks, and individuals are often exposed to these chemicals when they are away from home. A trip to the supermarket, public library, or a school's classroom can lead to major allergy symptoms or an asthma attack because someone is wearing perfume or has used a strongly-scented bath soap, moisturizing lotion, or laundry detergent.
