The following list of chemicals could produce MCS symptoms: Aerosol air freshener; Aerosol deodorant; After-shave lotion; Asphalt pavement; Cigar smoke and Cigarette smoke; Colognes and perfumes; Diesel exhaust and Diesel fuel; Dry-cleaning fluid; Floor cleaner; Furniture polish; Garage fumes; Gasoline exhaust; Hair spray; Insect repellant; Insecticide spray; Laundry detergent; Marking pens; Nail polish and Nail polish remover; Oil-based paint; Paint thinner; Perfumes in cosmetics; Public restroom deodorizers; Shampoo; Tar fumes from roof or road; Tile cleaners; Varnish, shellac, and lacquer.

If you suspect you are suffering from MCS, it is important to obtain quality health care. Insist upon a careful initial history, physical examination and basic laboratory investigation. You deserve a compassionate evaluation and management from a clinician who is sympathetic to you, but who also will protect you from unwarranted, dangerous, expensive or unproven evaluation and management.

Educate yourself about topic. Knowledge is power and you will discover there are not many physicians who are well informed about MCS. Many say it doesn't exist, others do not understand it, nor do they do how to treat you. I highly recommend finding a practitioner who specializes in this field or seek out a certified nutrition counselor or alternative health care provider.
