Side Effects of MCS Poisoning

Studies have shown around 34% of the population react to fragrances. For this group, it could be a minor discomfort that goes relatively unnoticed or explained away like a headache, fatigue, burning eyes or nausea. About 17% are seriously affected to the point where it impacts their existence forcing them to make lifestyle adjustments. Around 5% are diagnosed with MCS. Not everyone being poisoned by common chemicals reacts the same which is why diagnosing this condition is a challenge. My list of side effects may or may not apply to each and every person. Here are some symptomatic examples (in no discernable order):

headaches

migraines

nausea

vertigo

equilibrium issues

joint and muscle pain

vomiting

skin rashes

hives

wheezing

coughing

anaphylaxis

back and neck pain

crying

irritability

blurred vision

burning eyes

hyperactivity

heart beat irregularities
