University of California, Berkeley) A new research by researchers has made shocking revelations. According to research, applying perfume directly on the skin, especially near the neck, can prove to be very dangerous for your health.

The skin of the neck is much thinner and sensitive than that of other parts of the body (such as hands or feet). When we spray perfume directly on the neck, it contains synthetic chemicals And alcohol is rapidly absorbed through the pores of the skin. Once these harmful substances reach your bloodstream, they start damaging the internal organs of the body, which can lead to allergies and skin diseases.

2. Direct attack on thyroid gland

Thyroid gland is located just in front of our throat. This gland produces important hormones that control our metabolism, heart rate and energy levels.

Hormone Disruptors: Perfumes contain chemicals which are called ‘hormone disruptors’. These chemicals, when sprayed repeatedly on the throat, interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland.

Side Effects: Due to this, problems like excessive fatigue without any reason, sudden weight gain or loss and irregularity in heartbeat can occur.

3. Respiratory problems

By applying perfume near the neck and chest, its particles reach the lungs directly through the nose. For people who have asthma or sinus problems, it acts as a ‘trigger’ and can cause breathing problems.
