Non food aversions?

Anyone else got weird aversions to non food items? I can't smell my cats food without retching. I also start feeling sick if I even think about the dishwasher! Something to do with imagining all the little bits of food floating around in it! When my husband was hanging up the wet washing yesterday we also ascertained that the smell of our fabric softener makes me throw up. Fun. Does get me out of a lot of chores though! Lol!

Re: Non food aversions?

  • Yes.  I have aversions to pretty much EVERYTHING.  Toothpaste, laundry detergent, scented hand soap, soda, perfume, candles, like I said...pretty much everything!

  • My dog's poop smells extra wretched lately an last night DH came home after a night out of drinking and the smell of toothpaste mixed with vodka soda and lemon coming off his breathe was enough to make me sick.

    ~~Everyone Always Welcome~~

  • I teach middle school and am inundated by pre-teen boys who practically bathe in Axe body spray. It's pretty bad. I think I'd prefer B.O.!
  • I can smell the garbage disposal when no one else can/its been cleaned.

    Also picking up dog poop on walks, I try to throw it out at the nearest can (which also makes me sick opening the lid) but if no one has left their cans out at the curb, then I have to try to make it home with the bag without wretching.
  • Changing DDs diapers, dog food, our scented garbage bags. Also, like someone else mentioned, just looking at the sink/dishwasher makes my stomach turn.

  • The smell of one of our handsoaps made me dry heave the other day. I moved it to our guest bathroom which I barely use.

  • With my first pregnancy I made my husband change his deodorant brand! I also have to use baby toothpaste because regular stuff makes me heave.
  • Ditto on the dishwasher, especially if it's still steamy from being washed, certain laundry detergent, and my dog smells worse to me.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Any perfumes or deodorants make me sick to my stomach. I had to go out and buy unscented deodorant
  • We keep the cats litter box in our bathroom and the smell made me throw up twice in the shower. Dh couldn't even smell anything!
