If you live with asthma, you learn to live dodging bullets all day long. And what is the bullets? The bullets are in fact the perfume, the tobacco smoke or fumes, the cookery fumes, cleaning agents in public toilets and public room, so called airfresheners that pollute the air, wc blocks, road dust, shops with areas of perfume and perfume testing, exhaust and so on (list is long).
For us insensitive people who do not care even if one ask them ever so friendly not to smoke, spray perfume, hairspray or whatever, and please be considerate is another bullet we have to dodge. Because what can we do about them?
And som of them complaint about us being complainting, and also accuse asthmatic and allergic people of being fanatic because they want an environment that they do not get sick from. But why do they do this? They do not believe those products can harm anyone, and they want to do whatever they want without anyone else to mess with it. But have you ever thought of how it would be to have to dodge bullets all day at any place? Those with asthma, including myself, do not complaint without reason. What is worse is the healthy ones who complaint about us asking them to be considerate.
Sometimes..
