Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

I've been meeting more and more people who are sensitive or even allergic to chemicals including those in laundry products!  These people often experience very unpleasant symptoms when they are exposed to:

Fabric softeners
Laundry detergent
Dishwasher detergent
Perfume/Body spray/Cologne
Deodorant
Hair spray
Household cleansers
Cigarette smoke
Car exhaust

People with MCS or Multiple Chemical Sensitivity find it difficult going to the store and to social events because of the profuse number of scents (chemicals) in the air.

Possible reactions may include:

Dizziness
Fainting
Confusion
Indecisiveness
Coughing
Ringing in the ears
Itchiness
Coughing  (In more severe cases, asthma attacks.)
Fatigue
