Maryland Parents of asthmatic student seek fragrance  ban 
http://www.herald-mail.com/?cmd=displaystory&story_id=234215&format=html  
"The parents of a Smithsburg High School student with asthma are  trying to convince Washington County Public Schools officials to ban the use of  fragrances systemwide. 
Francis and Kelly Murray, whose 14-year-old son,  Danial, suffers from severe asthma, took their quest to the Washington County  Board of Education earlier this month. 
The Murrays said Danial often  suffers a severe asthma attack when he smells cologne, perfume or other scented  products. 
Francis Murray said Danial has to come home from school three  or four times a week because of his condition."
