Can You Smell BS? Not If You Sniff on This!
Still, some stench cannot stay hidden.
Make it the whole world. Shakespeare is obsolete.
Getting started
A few weeks ago, my friend sent me the following message that was only one of his several seminal ideas that he allowed me to use:
Febreze is one of the worse, so many unlisted neurotoxic chemicals in that shit. It works by causing sinus analgesia, it cripples scent receptors in the sinus, also affecting the tongue as well, as they are connected through the brain's neuro-pathways. Who the fuck puts fire retardant chemicals in an "air freshener" if they aren't actually selling a product which is essentially a toxic dumping operation, disguised as a consumer product? Where have we seen this practice before... Ummm toothpaste and mouth wash1, loaded with toxic fluorides, once used as pesticides.
His message made me think. Strangely, my wife and I were also finding out about Febreze, and you know that this site wouldn’t exist without her unwavering support and her frequent contributions.
Febreze
Febreze seems to be a flagship chemical, incorporating a number of toxins to which people are exposed on a daily basis.
Out of about 80 thousand chemicals that can be found in households, only a few dozen have been tested, and even their accumulating impact remains a secret, but the poisoning is not completely hidden. Here is a quick look at such chemicals:

Febreze is marketed as a chemical that “takes odors away” and provides an experience of cleanliness with the scents it contains.
How does it work?

According to the article,
Humans acquire the disgust or pleasure of odors through experience.
All pleasant odors become malodors at very high concentrations and the pleasantness or malodor depends largely on its context.
Only odors which are associated with common experiences shared by people in the same culture can be trusted to have the same effect on people.
This is why the odor of methyl salicylate associated with a drink such as root beer is appreciated by Americans but not Europeans.
I somewhat disagree with the author, because olfactory sensation is directly linked with food and drink intake, so I dislike a smell mostly because I wouldn’t like to consume anything that smells like it. In fact, my wife is using me to discern contents of food and drinks, because I can smell things she cannot. Yes, that’s all about “covid” taking that sense away (of course, 5G does, but happily, we are still not inundated). On the other hand, “acquired taste” does exist, and it tends to be culturally encoded.

Why is it that the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Febreze only shows ethyl alcohol? There is so much more to “neutralizing” odors.

How does an air-freshener work?
The cyclodextrin molecule resembles a doughnut. When you spray Febreze, the water in the product partially dissolves the odor, allowing it to form a complex inside the "hole" of the cyclodextrin doughnut shape. The stink molecule is still there, but it can't bind to your odor receptors, so you can't smell it. Depending on the type of Febreze you're using, the odor might simply be deactivated or it might be replaced with something nice-smelling, such as a fruity or floral fragrance.
While they may seem to be pleasant smells, what’s in the synthetic versions of these fragrances is not so nice. And yet, most bathrooms, lobbies, hotels, shopping malls, and office spaces – along with many homes and cars – are sprayed with these well-marketed products every day. Here’s why you should think twice the next time you reach for a spray or plug-in.
Air fresheners contain toxic chemicals
Those air fresheners with the pretty pictures of flowers, fruits, and baked goods on the packaging contain none of those pleasant ingredients. In fact, they are packed with chemicals that fly under the radar of minimal testing and labeling requirements.
In 2010, the International Fragrance Association released a master list of more than 3,100 chemicals that are used by most manufacturers. Chemicals on that list include carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, and numerous allergens (to name a few). A fragrance can be made up of more than 100 chemicals and can include any of these harmful constituents.

Probably, more often than not, the same applies to deodorants. Statistically, breast cancer barely exists in places where shaving the armpit and wearing chemicals there instead is not in fashion, although in such cases, there are probably several other factors in play.
What can the average mortal do? Stay away. Can the damage be reported and the “authorities” forces to take a look? Well, becoming active is only a phone call away:

Of course, any toothpaste or mouthwash can disrupt digestion and, in general, are not necessarily needed:

In the course of my work, (drafting) I have to go into peoples houses to measure the walls. I was in a house the other day, where the womans cat sneezed constantly, she complained about the cat snot everwhere and it happened while I was there. Her house is a febrize palace, its 2 days later and I am feeling the allergic reaction I had to being in her house, on top of the fact they she and her husband are probably quad vaxxed. The question is when I draw the line about exposures to the vaxxed. Germophobes got us into this mess and they will only dig their heels in, they are crazy people.
All these artificial smells desensitize folks to the point they can’t even recognize natural smells anymore. I can’t walk down the aisle of some stores, like Hobby Lobby, without my stomach turning and knotting up. Cigarette smoke would be more welcomed! Scent is so important for recognizing health and recognizing subtle queues, below our conscious radar. Like with the birth control pills, they screw with one’s sense of smell during ovulation masking what should be the body’s clue as to who is a proper mate. Our body’s wisdom is so intricate, such a perfect guide, and folks are screwing with it every time they use any of those awful fake products or eat chemical foods. Thanks for this post--Febreeze fanatics everywhere--get a clue! :)
