No light sensitivities but scents are major for me. If a neighbour is using scented laundry products - detergent, additives or softeners - I can not even be in my yard. I recently moved and can't be in my house when I am using the dryer because the previous woman used sent fabric softener!! Going out anywhere I usually have to what outside for my family because of body products.Yuck!!
