Burning scented candles can be hazardous to your health — know and heed the warnings
For many of us, home for the holidays means — like it or not!— somebody’s scented candles, burning somewhere in the house.
And, for most of us, the very worst we’ll suffer, after being subjected to hours of “sugar and spice” or “winter wonderland” up the nostrils, is a reminder of how hard on the old schnoz those cheap scents can be.
Then there are those for whom the treasured tapers can be downright dangerous, according to new research published in the Annals of Medicine and Surgery, first written about in The Cut.
Anyone suffering from vertigo, headaches, respiratory issues, watery eyes, sneezing, or a stuffy nose after candle exposure should avoid the smelly sticks in future, according to study authors.
