Yes, there were 3 in our cong. An elder's wife who had allergies to many things, stayed home and listened to meetings on the phone.An elder who had very strange strong reactions to some perfumes. A sister who had asthma triggered by indoor & outdoor pollution.
The congregation had many needs talks , but few listened to the requests to stop wearing perfume, smelly hair products and especially hand lotions.There were some outspoken ones who thought it unreasonable to be asked to not wear their perfume.It was a dry climate and the constant putting on of hand lotion in meetings was strong.I think the more requests made the worse people were about smelling the place up.I remember being in the bathroom and watching a sister change the hand soap to one she liked instead of the unscented one and hiding air fresheners out of sight that she would spray the place down with.
All of the "allergies" were strange reactions.I think they were suffering from stress and cognative disonance.
The elder I heard was having emotional problems ( very angry)and had left the "truth". The sister left an emotional wreck and was eventually disfellowshipped.
