Why do certain smells give me a migraine headache?
Mostly perfumes and scented products. Usually associated with candles shampoo and incense. Occasionally associated with heavy flowering of certain trees in our area.
Any solutions?

1. allergies are responsible for your dilemma.2. You just have a heightened sensitivity, there is really nothing you can do but avoid it. For me it's orange juice, the acidity of it sets off a migraine like a knife to the skull. It could also be allergies, try using claritin or zyrtec.
3. it hasn't got much to do do with allergies...i wish it had, so it would be easier to cure;

yes there are several foods, smells which can trigger the attack;
