While many individuals enjoy burning candles or incense, these items can lead to an allergic reaction or an asthma attack. If individuals know particular fragrances or brands cause breathing problems, they should avoid buying incense or candles that contain these scents or those from that particular brand. However, some studies have revealed any type of candles can cause allergic reactions or breathing distress. As the wick in a candle burns, it creates soot that contains carbon similar to some of the substances created from smoking cigarettes. Rather than using candles or incense in the home to freshen the air, individuals may need to use an air purification machine.
