I got a scentsy plug in from a friend a few years ago. I plugged it in and started having breathing issues and breaking out in hives.

It took a few days to figure out what the problem was, but as soon as I turned off the scentsy and opened all the windows in my house, the issue went away. I don't know what they use in Scentsy wax products, but whatever it was made me rather ill.

I'm posting this just in case people are having similar reactions and are not exactly sure what is causing it. I hope this helps.

Reason of review: Scentsy made me very ill..

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

I recently purchased several Scentsy wax melts and had the same experience. I googled to see if it happen to anyone else.

I tried a new scent. After an afternoon of using it, I could sort of sense that I was going to be sick from the smell.

I ignored. After nausea, hives and hot flashes I shut it off. I honestly thought I had food poisoning.

Nope. It was scentsy.

I have a similar problem, my vision starts to go funky and blurry and I feel tired and ill and like my brain is being slowly electrocuted, or some kind of neurological issue from scentsy. If I don't get fresh air right away I feel like I'd pass out and die or have an aneurysm.

I guess it may have somethig to do with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I had a similar problem with the sweetener aspartame.

I know it's been years and years but I'm dealing with this right now and wondering what ever helped?!?!?!

I agree with this. I just tried some of the products for the first time and the wax warmer made me feel lethargic and ill.

scentsy wax is made with food based wax so it is safer for children, dogs etc and burns cooler than beeswax. sounds like you had a reaction to the scent that you chose which isn't uncommon. try switching to something soft like shimmer or simply vanilla.
