**You may view and post in the original thread here:** [https://pheromonetalk.com/t/any-possible-health-complications-from-short-long-term-pheromone-usage/3562](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/any-possible-health-complications-from-short-long-term-pheromone-usage/3562) I was just curious about this one. Everything fun in this world almost always has some kind of downside to it. So there must some kind of health consequence. No way that [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) could be this much fun without some kind of health risk. šŸ™‚ ---

i have only been using for a year. my health experiences are that wearing excessive amounts do affect my hormones, and i often ā€œburn outā€ because i refuse to acknowledge my limits. i wouldnt be wearing them around my children (non-intimidating ones of course) if i thought there were health risks. ---

There are studies that relate [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) exposures to changes in hormones production (for example Androstenone-Testosterone). Although I donā€™t know if these changes are significantly harmfull, specially taking in count we only breathe themā€¦ Pheraoh, read this post that discuss the same. [Any health complications from short or long term pheromone use? - #3 by capone](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/any-possible-health-complications-from-short-long-term-pheromone-usage/3562/3) Anyway it would be interesting to know if there are some recent discoveries in this topic. Anybody? ---

Yeah, as I recall a recent study at the University of Washington Medical School demonstrated males experienced difficulty with erections after long term exposure to high levels of androstenol and couplins. Apparently they grew so accustomed to these pheromones women were not enticing enough. Sort of a slow chemical castrationā€¦ ---

Well, I think itā€™s akin to killing yourself by drinking too much water. Sure, itā€™s possible, but only a select few are dumb enough to drink that much. ---

I so strongly prefer the non-intimidating children to the monstrously fear-inspiring children.

havenā€™t noticed anything in myself, other than routine pheromone burnoutā€¦ if I use them too much I do become indifferent, so there appears to be a self calibration process, have concluded that the best results are from intermittant useā€¦ other than that over the last decade I have no overt physiologic symptoms or changes, nothing we can see in blood testing for natural androgen/estrogen production (I get tested for a variety of hormones and by-products, like ā€œupstreamā€ pregnenolone, ā€œmidstreamā€ DHEA, ā€œdownstreamā€ DHT, testosterone, and estrogen load)ā€¦ more to the point, my PSA (prostate marker) is remarkably low, in the zero risk categoryā€¦ and one of the big concerns with irresponsible steroid abuse is PSA values spikeā€¦ at least in my case, pheromones are demonstrating **no** impact on prostate volume or PSA values, even esoteric markers like SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) which respond to excess hormone by the body pumping out more SHBG to control blood hormone levels, show no meaningful activityā€¦ No thyroid changes, no inflammation markers like TNF-a, or Interleukins show activity, no C reactive proteinā€¦ no elevated liver enzymesā€¦ If the pheromones are doing anything at the body chemistry level we canā€™t find it **in me**. And weā€™re making a serious effort to find anything out of normal rangesā€¦ What should you do, what should everyone do ?
