Chemical Sensitivity = a Sensitive Issue

Pls help - this is really awkward for me. I started attending these meetings - noticed a really strong perfume smell in first meeting - secong meeting so on - very hard to take - it causes headaches. Finally - I could pin this perfume to one lady. She is absolutely lovely - very warm hearted - and gives hugs. Thing is, when she hugs me all this perfume saturates my clothing and then it even makes my apartment smell. Top it off, this lady is a greeter at the door and just hugs and touches a lot. I don't know how to handle this situation. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I have been in this situation a lot before - at social functions people just coming up touching/hugging me and then getting sick after from the perfume/after shave lingering on my clothes.

Thank you for reading my story!!!
