Can you get sick of incense, or can incense make you ill... Yes to both.
If you burn incense excessively, you run the risk of getting sick of it. (duh)
In more detail on if incense can cause ILLNESS...
Burning incense can potentially make some individuals sick, especially those who are sensitive or have pre-existing health conditions.
Burning BAD incense ( un-natural synthetics ) can release harmful compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, and formaldehyde.
Prolonged and regular exposure to these compounds is linked to various health issues, particularly respiratory problems ( breathing / lungs )
Inhaling the smoke from BAD incense can cause irritation to the respiratory tract, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.
Individuals with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions are more susceptible to these effects.
Additionally, certain incense formulations may contain allergens or irritants that could cause allergic reactions or skin irritation.
How to stay SAFE:
- Burn organic and natural incense
- Use incense in moderation
- Burn it in well-ventilated areas
- Avoid prolonged exposure.
- Consult with your doctor if you have specific concerns and get personalized advice.
Thanks for staying safe.
