gingerinarkansas Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Do these make you feel ill when you pour them? I poured test candles this morning and had to quit because my stomach was doing flip-flops. Guess it's all the smells of thing I don't care for(orange and some spices).

Accents Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't do well with cranberry, gives me an instant headache. After working on candles for a while, I don't feel real great. Hasn't bothered my stomach that I'm aware of. (well, unless I haven't had much to eat or drink, but don't think that's FO related) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The spicy ones and the woodsy ones give me a headache.:undecided I like the scents but they don't like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yea, I think we all have certain scents we can't tolerate.You can try opening windows, if your pouring area has them.You can have someone else pour those scents.You can get a respirator and wear just for those scents and leave the pouring area once the candles are poured.

Luci Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Crap! I never even thought about that. I have had Amish Harvest either burning or on a warmer as well as Streudel and Spice. I've been wondering why I've had more headaches than usual the past couple of weeks. Just thought it was the DH situation! Never even considered the fo. But I love the way these two smell. Gotta be the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 THere are a few and some, if I mingle, that are ill worthy. Mostly not though. But then perhaps you have a touch of something else that could be affecting the way you feel. for instance, sinus problems for me make everything pukey.

candlesbeaulieu Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I try to make similar scents at the same time but I'm still making them in the Kitchen drives my kids crazy:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've been pouring a lot of wick testers this week and often ending the day with a splitting headache.When I pour a bigger batch I use this with the organic vapor cartridge and it's super effective. Can't even smell a thing. http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_992.asp?desc=Reusable+Respirators+%26+SuppliesHowever, if I'm pouring and wick testing at the same time I opt for this.

grammafransfixins Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have had to do away with certain scents in my candle line because of them making me sick when I pour. I still have a few on the line and would have some ticked of customers if I took them off too! So if I have to make them they are the last batch of the day, I go back upstairs (candle shoppe in basement), shut the door and it's not too bad.

Guest ShellyRobyn Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 My husband say's he's allergic to Patchouli (that hippie stuff) so he's stays out in the shop. I love when I have a big order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcameback Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Floral or perfumey scents tend to get me. But I knew that before I started making candles, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoOleKrows Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I love the smell of roses but for some reason I can't stand to pour rose scents (too strong). So I let my mom do those, lol. We are in this together anyways, she gets sick from twigs and berries which doesn't bother me at all. Oh well everyone is different.Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
