Febreeze headache?

I used febreeze for the first time yesterday - found myself at work in a top that I obviously should have cleaned and worse, I had plans to go directly out dancing that evening. So i bought this famour deodorant. The good news is that I sprayed it on and after it dried it did its job.

The bad news is that this filled my office with the vapour and I then got an awful headache. Headaches are something I used to have a lot of but now (thankfully!) I just about never get. I have absolutely no doubt this was induced by the Fabreeze. Good as it is, I'm only going to use it 'in a well aired room' from now on. Anyone else had this problem?

Can't say anything specific about febreeze but I usuaully start to feel nausous around any kind of man made chemical air freshener.
 
no, the apposition of 'nautious' with 'air freshner'. Seems to me that something that makes the air fresher (nicer to breathe) should not also give you pain (not nicer to breathe).

I'm sure you smell as sweet as the lawn after the grass is cut...
(oh, I love that smell - where is that perfume?)

years ago i used a "dry-clean at home in your dryer" product (can't remember if it was febreeze...) and i got seriously high when i wore the jacket i cleaned with it.

i seriously do not use *any* of that crap any more... not in my house, not on my shoes, not on my body... really, just no point and not worth the long-term health risk to liver & brain & god knows what else.

Around here, most people insist on having chemicals dumped on their lawns every couple of weeks through the summer. I'm not sure breathing fresh mown grass is a good thing.

BOT: Febreeze - I have not experienced problems with the antimicrobial stuff. There are some women's colognes though that give me a pounding headache.
 
I can't stand the smell of Febreeze. I tried it once and I'm not sure if it got the original smell out because everything was masked by the ultra-heavy perfume scent of the Febreeze itself.

Oh no! You're right. How did I manage to do THAT this morning. No wonder the students didn't take any notes during our discussion. OTOH I suppose that is at least flattering.

Thank goodness for DFers who don't mind breaking the bad news to you - you tucked your skirt up, there's somebody in your nose, you sat on a grape (white slacks) or brie cheese (black slacks) - that sort of thing....

Now to wing it. How about a newspaper-blouse? I cold call it grunge...
 
Not many people realize that Febreeze was developed in a chemical warfare laboratory
and its main function was to repel invaders from Mars
