I have an acquaintance at work who is a higher up. When we first met, I told her I would dress more professionally if I could afford it. In the years since, she had been hard to deal with. Kind of a workplace bully. The other day she gave me a bag of some of her old clothes which were really nice, and said, "I think you might want these." I took them and noticed they had a really strange odor. Like perfume but with more of a chemical smell. When I tried them on, I became extremely itchy. I washed them on cold and even warm about ten times, using different combinations of vinegar and detergent in an effort to remove the irritant. I took two of the expensive pieces to a drycleaner and that took care of the problem. The rest of the clothes are still airing out in a corner of my house. I have had them for about a month. When I walk by them, I feel sick. I am starting to feel paranoid, like she poisoned the clothes or something.
