I made a mistake and now I am paying the bill. I tried a "body wash" in the shower, believing that it would be a nice experience. It was scented. Now my smell receptors are saturated, my eyes are watering, and my nose puckered up and trying to crawl inside my head. It was like walking the floor of a candle making facility. Or spilling a bottle of "essential oils." What part of the distillation tower of a petrochemical refinery did they extract this from? Was it from the slop buildup in the heat exchangers they clean out every week? The smell is bad as the eye watering metabolism of too much saturated fats and excessive Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP). The honeybees, pollinators, raccoons, and feral cats would not approve and offer to take this bottle of cursed fragrance to the quarantined area far from the wildflowers and bury it deep to rest with the peaceful graves our fallen dinosaurs. Moral of the story: always check the ingredients.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space Don't forget to check the ingredients when buying cosmetic products! A friend of mine developed an app called "WhatsIn?" for my country. I use it every day. You can also find an alternative that includes products from your country whose income isn't from the brands themselves. Or you can learn what the ingredients of the products mean and buy those that are suitable for your skin type.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space You are sill alive and typing, so MOMP didn't proceed to ehmmm... full extend. It's sound like a fierce allerigic reaction of synthetic scents. Like I almost turn purple when somebody used toilet spray named "ocean blue". Make a snap of the label on the bottle and scan it rightway in Duck AI and prompt to analyse all ingredients, list all details and list chemicals potentially triggering allergic reactions. I always do before buying makeup, shampoos, skincare, etc, etc.
