Chemical Sensitivities develop in a large number of mold victims and some people exposed to chemicals. This condition may be referred to, also, as MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities).
This means you may feel ill from exposure to everyday chemicals that you encounter, suddenly, when these never bothered you before. The reaction may range from mild to extreme. Many people report they become sensitive to: perfumes, perfumed cosmetics and soaps, exhaust, cleaners, pesticides, herbicides, etc.. This may also occur in those exposed to chemical poisoning (high amount or low levels, over time). Mold poisoning is a chemical poisoning, as well, because the fungal poisons (mycotoxins) are chemicals. Perhaps this is why the body reacts to multiple chemicals, for many, following mold poisoning.

Often, MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) develop after a prolonged or extensive mold exposure. This easy-to-understand pamphlet describes MCS, produced by the State of New Mexico, in 2000. Excellent for use with physicians, dentists, professionals, family and friends, who don't understand this condition. The fact that it was published by the State of New Mexico gives this information credibility.

"Each year we see scores of teachers who have the same story. It goes something like this: Because there was an increasing need for their special educational services, a new classroom has to be created for them. ... As part of the renovation, the newly partitioned room or closet was emptied, painted and carpeted. Children who took classes in this room usually did so for a maximum of one period a day, but the teacher often spent her entire day, five days a week, in this renovated, under-ventilated small room.
Over a period of time, she developed a large array of symptoms, depending upon the individuals, but the commonest by far was always "brain fog". She gradually became spacey, dizzy, dopey, felt as though she couldn't concentrate well and was exhausted or depressed for no apparent reason. She usually had a host of other complaints that seemed unrelated, such as irritable bowel, headaches, recurrent sinus infections, body aches and arthritis, nausea and irritable bowel, unexplained mood swings, painful or irregular menstrual periods, and much more."
This article, written by Dr. Sherry Rogers, visionary physician, explains much of what was observed in the early 1990's re: MCS. (SMH)
