I once attended a funeral mass for a relative of an in-law. Seated right up front, the incense triggered his asthma. Kinda redirected focus from the ethereal to medical emergency, but he recovered quickly. My point, if there is one, is that people with respiratory issues might consider sitting in back or away from the aisle.
