bay essential oil gives me a headache. i've used it to deter ants, anyway, because ants give me a bigger headache. ;)
i use bay leaves in cooking all the time without any problems. And laurel wreaths don't bother me. I think it's just the bay oil, which is super concentrated.
it's bad enough that many stores pipe in scents or that factoriess use scented fabric treatments on clothing that is meant to be displayed.
