Air fresheners are now said to cause allergic reactions and breathing problems in people with asthma. They are made primarily of chemical compounds that have in the past been proven to trigger an asthma attack. This is mostly because people are more frequently using types of air fresheners like the plug ins the sprays and candles. Allergists agree that the spreaded use of these items is encouranging more and more asthma attacks.
This is something I didn't know, not knowing this is scary. My nephew is 7 years old and has been hospitalized with more severe asthma attacks than I can count. He has a severe case of asthma and lots of things i did know about trigger his attacks like cats, smoke, soap, and pollen. But I had no clue that air fresheners had the ability to trigger his attacks. I wish they could have told us this sooner. I am going to tell everyone i know not to use air freshners around him as to prevent anything from happening to him.
