Plz, do not use that stuff. The only true remedy to MCS, in my own personal experience, is fresh air. And the cost is usually lower than living in a city.Leisa,
I went from growing up in a suburb of 15,000 people to living in NYC. I worked in the photo industry in the 1980's. 1990's, those chemicals ruined my life plans.
I now live in the northern woods of Wisconsin, (USA), just to have fresh air to breathe....yet, I knew once I made this move I could not go back. Lived here now for 6 years and now anywhere near perfume, hair spray, soap, deoderant, laundry detergent, gas, and many others it is a one off stop. My face goes pure red, it burns, dizzy, cannot breathe well, headache, bodyache... just feels like I am goona collapse.
I go for 3 - 4 hours shopping for the toiletries, essentials for the month and that is it. People think that I am rude, standoffish, even "weird". I never was and am not. Yet thank GOD they made smoking illegal in public places. That was a HUGE help for me.
Then they added ethanol to gas. Total headaches with it. It even varies from stations.
HOWEVER, keep your chin up, feel free to write me or whatever may help you, good luck! ...
