Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi all, I had a weird experience yesterday and am hoping someone can shed some light on it. I was at work and all of a sudden felt this strange headache come on and then smelled a really bad and overwhelming smell, a chemical smell. It smelled like Lysol. I got up, was dizzy and went into the other room. My coworker was spraying Lysol all around the garbage can. She said she smelled something rotten and instead of trying to find the rotting food, she just sprayed it. Well, this Lysol smell stayed with me the entire day. I just could not function. We can't open our windows, so I went outside for a bit. When I came in, the entire floor smelled like Lysol, esp the room where it was sprayed. I complained about it to another coworker who could see that I did not look well. She told me she could not smell it at all. I came home was just fried. I lay on the couch and could not lift my head. I slept terribly and had a headache and woke up with it. I went into work and BAM it was the first thing I smelled. My coworkers think I am nuts. No one else smells it. Prior to this, I have never had a problem with Lysol or any type of cleaning agent. I am sure this sensitivity is due to the candida. What can I do? I know to work on the diet, but if I am exposed to a spray, what can I do? I wanted to take some Tylenol so bad, but I didn't, I just kept drinking my water. I wonder if today, the day after, do I really smell it, or do I THINK I smell it? TIA Paws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Dear Paws, You definitely had a chemical sensitivity reaction to the Lysol. What is lingering with you is the memory of it in your mind, which can also recal the actual smell, just like when you remember having a delicious turkey dinner and you can almost smell the turkey. This reaction will improve a bit as you progress in curing your candida. But Lysol is very toxic. Even now I cannot stand it even though I don't get a physical reaction any more like I did when I had candida. Onward & upward - continue on the candida program!
