[Immune power up information] We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 28th installment introduces articles on fragrance damage and familiar chemical substances from the December 6 issue of Musubi Magazine. (all XNUMX times). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pervasive microcapsule fragrance damage Damaged by long-lasting fragrance Originally, "good smell" makes you feel relaxed, and if it is food or drink, it stimulates your appetite.However, there are also "bad odors" that make you feel uncomfortable and lose your appetite. The sense of smell is said to be the most primitive of the five senses.Our ancestors are said to have survived by being the first to detect wildfires from the smell of burning. In addition to natural scents, synthetic artificial fragrances have been added for about XNUMX years.In the long history of mankind, this is only recent. In XNUMX, the first fabric softener was released in Japan.Since then, the sales volume has continued to increase, and the market size in XNUMX has reached approximately XNUMX billion yen. Since XNUMX, manufacturers of fabric softeners, which have become a huge market, have been competing for the scent that lasts for a long time. Until then, you could only smell it once when you used fabric softener, but in order to prevent it from volatilizing even when it dries, and to keep the smell from disappearing even after wearing and washing, we sealed the fragrance in microcapsules. Then, as advertised, we made sure that the scent lasts for a long time. Along with the spread of such fragrant fabric softeners, the number of people complaining of poor health due to strong odors has increased rapidly.
Children tend to be hyperactive Regarding artificial fragrances that are used in softeners, cosmetics, shampoos, air fresheners, etc., Mr. Tsunoda says that by stimulating the sensory nerves, people who are not sensitive feel relaxed, while those who are sensitive have an excessive nervous system. It points out that it can cause chemical hypersensitivity symptoms such as headaches and nausea, and induce allergies such as hives. At Mr. Tsunoda's clinic, the number of patients with strong scents has increased over the past five years, and most of the staff who smell the strong scent complain of headaches. “There are other patients, so we will have them go to a well-ventilated room.” Of particular concern are the children that Tsunoda specializes in. "It's not uncommon for children to go crazy when adult staff get headaches. In fact, children who grow up in places with strong scents have a strong pain reaction to vaccines and other drugs, and tend to be hyperactive and restless." I have" Continued exposure to strong odors not only numbs the sense of smell and escalates the search for stronger odors, but also may lead to developmental abnormalities in the sense of taste, such as losing the sense of taste. According to the emergency publication "Microcapsule Fragrance Damage" (written by Hiroe Furusho), the fragrances packed in the capsules are "made by mixing ten to several hundred kinds of chemical substances and adding various solvents. The composition of the chemicals and other details are currently considered trade secrets.”In addition, some of the chemical substances were suspected to be harmful when examining the published ones.
