New York Post Weird But True

Lady, you stink.
Nearly 150 people became ill at a Texas call center because a colleague's perfume was so overpowering.
Paramedics had to rush 34 people to the hospital after they suffered dizziness and shortness of breath at the Bank of America facility in Fort Worth.
Investigators said they did not know what kind of perfume the woman was wearing.
The Fort Worth police department called in the foremost perfume expert in North America from his stately manor in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn to determine what caused this dilemma.
"It is hard to pinpoint exactly why this occurred" said the reclusive expert in the olfactory senses. "It might just be because she was woman. As you know woman are stinky and icky so that would be reason enough to induce nausea."

Six months it took my mother to get over the bronchial problems caused by riding an elevator with an over-perfumed woman. The perfume "burned" her lungs. She still has problems around some flowers, which is stinks because she loves to garden. More common than you might think.
