1. Do my symptoms indicate a fragrance allergy?
   
   
2. What tests will you use to determine if I have fragrance intolerance or fragrance allergies?
   
   
3. Do fragrance allergies pose a danger to my overall health?
   
   
4. What treatment options are available to me? Am I candidate for allergy shots?
   
   
5. What terms should I look for when reading a product label? Are “unscented” products safe to use?
   
   
6. Are there certain types of products I should avoid?
   
   
7. Can you recommend products that are safe for me to use?
   
   
8. Should I perform a patch test before using a new skin product?
   
   
9. Would I benefit from placing a HEPA filter in my home?
   
   
10. Are my children more likely to develop fragrance allergies or irritation because I am affected?
