I've been reading articles on line about fragrances and asthma 
because I've been having so much difficulty at work. I have asthma and at 
the moment I have broncitis which makes my breathing much worse. I work in a 
small office and there are a couple of people who pretty much bathe in their 
perfume. I have a very hard time every day but when I'm sick it's a
hundred times worse. I've asked my supervisors numerous times to ask them to 
not wear so much but it seems that I have no rights at all
because they claim that they can not say anything to them. After suffering 
for a long time they have offered me a small storage room to work in. After 
23 years of working there I'm actually thinking about leaving on disability. 
Do I have any rights in this matter at all? This perfume is toxic to me. 
Other people have complained also. I'm out of work today because of the 
effects it had on me while being sick and I'm in jeopardy of losing my job. 
I am so desperate, I don't know what to do. Please give me any information 
that you have. Thank you.
