Thanks so much for posting this. It's what I have believed is causing

my seizure activity, abnormal EEG & sudden, severe sleep apnea(brain

controlled). I see Neurologist in 2 weeks & if I don't get answers,

I'll be road tripping to land!

Hugs, Cheryl

your welcome. yes, after reading this I'm wondering if EEG testing

while being exposed to irritants would be a good way to show MCS

effects on the brain.
