For context I am a 15F, and in middle school was forever forgetting deodorant. I was made fun of for smelling like BO and cigarettes (my parents smoke). Now because of this I am very aware of how I smell, and have made a habit of always putting perfume before I leave the house. Last thursday I had a few surgeries in my nasal and throat area. I have always had trouble breathing along with other issuses, one of them being I had a bad sense of smell.
Now for what happened, my brother is over at my house. When hes over he likes to play with my makeup. We were in my room he was doing his thing when I wanted to show him my perfume. I sparyed it on my wrist when it hit me, one spary and I was dying. I got incredibly nauseous, and threw up (made it to the toilet).
That would be no big deal other then the fact, I have healing cauterized wounds in the back of my throat. 10 minutes later I am sitting and can taste blood, I belive I opened my cuts. Yet all I can think about is wondering how bad I smelled. I mean I would spary at 5 to 10, how were people not nauseated being near me. I also love me perfume and don't wanna give it up, but don't wanna throw up everytime I leave.
TL;DR:I haven't been able to smell in years, got nasal and throat surgery. Sparyed my perfume and throw up and I think it opened my wounds.
