Multiple chemical sensitivity is not simply a medical concern of diagnosis

and treatment, but it is becoming a major social and economic issue with a

strong activist agenda. In their book, Chemical Sensitivity: The Truth About

Environmental Illness, Barrett and Gots7 address this issue. Advocates of

multiple chemical sensitivity have successfully sought sympathy and support by

attacking the chemical industry and others as the source of their plight.

Numerous activist organizations publish newsletters and maintain Web sites that

identify physicians and lawyers who support the chemical causality of their

illnesses. A newsletter reports legislative, public policy and court decisions

that support multiple chemical sensitivity as a legitimate disease or

disability.8 Thus, multiple chemical sensitivity may become a disease by a

legal fiat.
