I know how your wife feels. I suffer from the same illness and
can not get my employer to do much about it either. They do not
recognize environmental illness as a disability. I wish the
people who make these decisions could just live in my shoes for a
week and see how quickly they would change their tune. I think
this is a wide spread problem across the world, not just in the
USA. There are some Provinces in Canada that have a perfume free
policy in government buildings, but not Ontario ( lucky me ). The
employer justs keep saying his hands are tied, they have no right
to tell people not to wear perfume, etc... I guess we don't have
the right to breath.
Tell your wife not to give up. Some day one of us, who suffer
from this horrible illness, will get someone to listen.
