Hi Anon!

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! Check out this link from our forum and you can read that many members share the same experience!!

To answer your question specifically, it's not dangerous, you just have sensitive Olfactory nerves. You don't have to give up your favorite breath freshener...

Have you tried cinnamon Altoids or chewing gum?

Best,

Kristin
