Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is an unrecognized and controversial diagnosis characterized by chronic symptoms attributed to exposure to low levels of commonly used chemicals. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Symptoms are typically vague and non-specific .
Idiopathic environmental intolerances (IEI) are medical syndromes with no proven cause, but which the affected people attribute to various environmental situations. [1] The most common forms are multiple chemical sensitivity, electromagnetic hypersensitivity (electricity), and wind turbine syndrome (noise). [1]
Miller's research interests include "neurodevelopment and the environment (autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and the use of an environmentally-controlled, hospital-based medical unit for assessing health effects of low level chemical exposures in a wide range of chronic illnesses-including asthma, autoimmune diseases, chronic ...
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a term referring to one of two types of mast cell activation disorder (MCAD); the other type is idiopathic MCAD. [1] MCAS is an immunological condition in which mast cells, a type of white blood cell, inappropriately and excessively release chemical mediators, such as histamine, resulting in a range of chronic symptoms, sometimes including anaphylaxis or ...
Hyperosmia is an increased olfactory acuity (heightened sense of smell), usually caused by a lower threshold for odor. [1] This perceptual disorder arises when there is an abnormally increased signal at any point between the olfactory receptors and the olfactory cortex.

International May 12th Awareness Day, also known as International ME/CFS Awareness Day is held every year to raise awareness of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, Gulf War syndrome and other chronic immunological and neurological diseases (CIND).
Chemical sensitivity may refer to: Multiple chemical sensitivity, a chronic increase in sensitivity to common chemicals; Food intolerance, a negative reaction to chemical components in the diet; Drug intolerance or drug sensitivity, a lower threshold to the normal pharmacologic action of a drug, not to be confused with drug allergy
