Are candles triggers for asthma or allergies?Updated 3 months ago

Millions of people enjoy scented candles without any negative effects, but a particular fragrance can trigger a reaction in sensitive individuals. If you have known fragrance sensitivities, choose scents carefully and always burn candles in a well-ventilated area. If you experience a reaction, discontinue use and consult your physician. (Guidance adapted from the National Candle Association, of which NEST New York is a member.)
