Please be aware that the anti-perseperants and deoderants you use contain nasty petro- chemicals and heavy metals that may be pollluting your bodies own immune system.  Alternatives you may want to consider are natural mineral salts or Tea Tree Oil.

When the body sweats toxins are released through the pores.  Please consider these options.

Have a friend with environmental sensitivities..she is like the canary in the gold mine (who would suffer from lack of oxygen first and warn the miners). For her, being out around others is a crap shoot...will someone's  hairspray, perfume, laundry soap or deodorant put her in bed with aches, tingles, numbness  for a few days, or will it be a good day.

It's not psychosomatic.....I've seen her react to lingering traces of something she could neither smell or expect .....my house was always safe before.

Consider using baby powder (without talc) over your natural deoterant as a way to absorb moisture.
