Didn't know that this was a thing 🙄

My dad (who’s a doctor, btw) is very sensitive to perfume/cologne. If it’s strong enough it can actually give him a heart arrhythmia. There have been a couple of times when it was bad enough that he started to black out.

Ah OP, I assume you’re at a workers comp client?

I’m sensitive to that stuff - my throat starts to close up, I can’t breathe, my eyes sting and water if the scent is too strong.
