A member asked:
Are fabric softener allergies immediate or can they appear a few months after using the softener?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually later: Allergies can be either immediate or appear later. For chemical exposures like detergents and softeners, the daily exposure on clothes can build and the allergy appear after months of using it. The body gets sensitized over time.
