I don't sense any issues with you of exaggeration or panic. I think we know where the exaggeration comes from.
At one time I used air fresheners on the furniture as a repellent to make them stop using it as a scratching post. It required frequent application and bothered me as much as it did them.
The posts here made me aware of the significance of the problem and makes me glad I don't suffer as much as many do. Similar to a number of medical issues I have, but only in a small way compared to others.
We will see how far you get with this argument. He typically is not one to admit when he is wrong.

We have been soaking them in buckets for weeks. It is really hard to get out.

Rick,
Your assumption that is is autism is so unbelievable off that is takes my breath away. Did you do ANY research before your pulled that garbage our your ear?
And by the way, that that think you pulled out your ear tell you that not all of these chemicals come with an odor? The tip off that you are allergic to them is your throat swelling shut, gasping in terror trying to breath, getting dizzy, brain fog, etc., etc., etc..
This is what science say about multiple chemical sensitivity:
Assessment of cerebral blood flow in patients with multiple chemical sensitivity using near-infrared spectroscopy--recovery after olfactory stimulation: a case-control study:

Results: After olfactory stimulation, significant activations were observed in the PFC of patients with MCS on both the right and left sides compared with controls. The activations were specifically strong in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Compared with controls, autonomic perception and feelings identification were poorer in patients with MCS. OFC is associated with stimuli response and the representation of preferences.
Conclusions: These results suggest that a past strong exposure to hazardous chemicals activates the PFC during olfactory stimuli in patients with MCS, and a strong activation in the OFC remains after the stimuli.
And here is your mental health bull s*it:
Experiences of persons with multiple chemical sensitivity with mental health providers:

Abstract
In this paper, we summarize the results of an online survey of persons in the United States with chemical intolerance/multiple chemical sensitivity who sought help from mental health providers, including counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and others. Respondents reported on their most recent contact with a provider, describing reasons for the contact, accommodations requested and received, and suggestions for how the experience could be more helpful. Overall, though clients were accommodated in small ways, some received no accommodation, and many felt that the providers needed to be more knowledgeable regarding chemical intolerance. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of providers becoming more aware of multiple chemical sensitivity and more willing to make their services accessible to these clients.

Chemical sensitivity: pathophysiology or pathopsychology?
formatting link
Results: The sensitization state of CS seems to be initiated by a significant toxic exposure, occurring as a 1-time event, or on surpassing a threshold of toxicity after toxicant accrual from repeated lower- level exposures. Once sensitized through a toxicant- induced loss of tolerance, individuals exposed to inciting triggers such as minute amounts of diverse everyday chemicals may experience various clinical and immune sequelae, sometimes involving lymphocyte, antibody, or cytokine responses. Precautionary avoidance of inciting triggers will prevent symptoms, and desensitization immunotherapy or immune suppression may improve symptoms in some cases. Sustained resolution of the CS state occurs after successful elimination of the accrued body burden of toxicants through natural mechanisms of toxicant bioelimination and/or interventions of clinical detoxification. Despite extensive clinical evidence to support the veracity of this clinical state, many members of the medical community are reluctant to accept this condition as a pathophysiologic disorder.
I HAVE 17 MORE IF YOU WANT THEM. Or you could ignore science and go with want comes out your ear and continue to be callous to the suffering you are causing your neighbors because you are having FUN playing with chemicals. Karma is real dude.

You seem to have not understood a word I wrote. You did the same thing on another post of mine. If you can't read what I wrote, please don't respond.

What did I misunderstand? "Believing"? "Every"? "Autism"? Do you realize how insulting that is?

Maybe you need to learn about quoting. I didn't write that. The idiot Brown did.
Now get off my back. Don't complain to me about something I didn't write. Learn how to use newsgroups.

Try alternately soaking and drying, that seems to be more effective than just soaking. Don't dry it inside the house, use an attic, a shed or a covered outdoor space.

Hi Rick,
I do have to apologize.
I had to go backwards in the threads to figure out that Thunderbird was showing you at the top, making me think I was responding to you. The tip off was your civil correspondence with Liz. You name even got mixed up on the "From:".
Again my apologies,

I have been thinking of a drying rack to place outdoors. It is always a chore to avoid the neighbors dryer and house perfume though, which redeposits

It really sounds like anything will take your breath away.
How's the house of cinnamon and fish doing these days?
