You may have a fairly common reaction to the scent chemicals in just about every fucking thing in our lives. It's like marketers have us convinced we are the stinkiest creatures on the planet. Not true.
But the chems in scented laundry soap and bath soap/shampoos seem to plague millions of people. Yet they still tells us we need them...lol
I went to the docs because my upper body kept breaking out in what I called gator skin. She said find soaps that are not scented or treated as such and don't use all the nice smelling shampoos and shit. She prescribed some salve, but said I won't need any more if I do what she said. She was right.
Went to ivory and everything is gone and hasn't come back. Went to neutral laundry soap as well, doesn't have to be organic stuff either.
Vinegar is still out with the jury, as have decent hard water and the clothes are a little dingy and now smell like a dinner salad when first out of the dryer.
I love oil and vinegar on salad, but not on my underwear.
