Just a whiff of cologne, detergent, or tobacco smoke could make a person with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) sick for hours, days, or longer. People with MCS risk jeopardizing their health to obtain what most of us take for granted: food, medical care, access to businesses, schools, even social contact.
