Scents & Pollen Unwelcome In Hospital
VIHA is asking people not to bring strongly perfumed or intense pollen bearing flowers into the hospital or residential care facilities over the Easter weekend.
While many people consider the Easter Lily part of the tradition it can cause issues for people suffering from health issues. The pollen or perfume can trigger respiratory problems, headaches and sometimes nausea. The problem with scents is not restricted to flowers of course but can be problematic with things such as hair spray, hand creams and the like.
So, if you want to cheer up someone who is in hospital this weekend, maybe a basket of chocolate would be better, and a card with a picture of a flower on it.
