Are certain fragrance application methods (e.g., sprays, roll-ons) safer around children than others?
Certain fragrance application methods may be safer than others around children, as each method has unique risks. Sprays, for instance, disperse fragrance particles into the air, making it easier for children to inhale them. In confined spaces, this can lead to respiratory irritation, especially if children have conditions like asthma. Roll-ons provide a more controlled application, as they minimize the dispersion of particles, but should still be used sparingly and on areas children won’t touch or contact. Essential oil diffusers are another popular method but should be used cautiously. Ensure they are kept out of reach and limited to well-ventilated areas; avoid strong oils like eucalyptus or tea tree, and never leave diffusers running unattended.
