I think it would depend on the severity of the allergy. In some cases the
allergic person would not be able to go. I had a friend that sitting 5 feet
from the empty shells in the garbage pail would suffer a severe reaction.
She had to be very careful where she went. Luckily not everyone has such
serious reactions. I am of mixed feelings as how to far we should take the
catering to allergies. I have pictures in my mind of a gray old world
without flowers, perfumes etc... or at least no flowers within 20 feet or so
of a public walkway.
