Quack Watch article debunks Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

I have been reading a lot of the material in the MCS's on line community support groups. Articles like, "I was poisoned by my body" and other insane ramblings of mentally disturbed hypochondriacs.

Click on the link and read the article by MD Stephen Barrett. He debunks the fad faux disease in no uncertain terms. He mentions in the article that there really is no satisfying the people with this supposed disease as the demands for accommodation never end.

Here are some of the symptoms of the non disorder.

"itching of the nose, watery or burning eyes, plugged ears, a feeling of fullness in the ears, ringing ears, dry mouth, scratchy throat, an odd taste in the mouth, tiredness, headache, nausea, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, tingling of the face or scalp, tightness or pressure in the head, disorientation, difficulty breathing, depression, chills, coughing, nervousness, intestinal gas or rumbling, and aching legs."

The symptoms experienced by the MCS "sufferers" are naturally occuring body fluctuations that everyone experiences from time to time on any given day, or even on a daily basis. It's only that the rest of us realize that none of this stuff is serious. The MCS people seem unable to understand that their "symptoms" are commonly felt, and dismissed as unimportant by most people.
