Sweet Smell causes seizures

Fri, 07/31/2015 - 00:41

Hello All

I know that odours can be a trigger for seizures. My daughter is extremely sensitive to any sweet smell / fragrance / odour coming from deodarants, soaps, shampoos, incense sticks, perfumes, floor cleaners .. difficult for her to go out of the house without getting running into these odours and subsequently getting a seizure.

Any remedies other than 'Avoid the Smells' ?

Regards
