Subject: Chemical Sensitivities

As one who has lived with chemical sensitivities  (a variety of
respiratory problems ranging from mild irritation to severe asthema
triggered by perfumes, and petrochemicals) for many years I want to
express my gratitude for any attention currently being given to the
subject.  The sense of smell is a precious one that factors into the
wellbeing of our species.  It's time for the beauty industry to begin
dismanteling itself for the benefit of all.  Human being ought to be
able to safely breath fresh air and enjoy or avoid the the natural odors
of our species ans our surrounds.  Thank for hearing me out.  Please add
my name to the list of people signing the petition to the FDA Docket #
