MCS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I have MCS badly.  As well, my son has MCS, though not as severely as me (thankfully).  MCS is a chemical hyper-sensitivity, metabolically-based syndrome produced, in my case, through my exposure to a synthetic pyrethroid termiticide in my former New South Wales Department of Housing unit in north-west Sydney in 2000.  Apparently I was exposed mainly to the solvent vapour portion of the overall pesticide mixture.  As well as two acute exposures, I experienced a long-term exposure to the application's solvent vapour because the chemical barrier termiticide treatment soaked into my unit's ground floor concrete foundation slab.  This was confirmed later when test holes were dug around the slab.  They clearly showed that the pesticide was originally injected directly down onto a plate of concrete extending out from, and continuous with, the unit's foundation slab.  An expert Vapor Intrusion Report confirmed this.

Note:  "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a clinical phenomenon in which individuals, after acute or intermittent exposure to one or more chemicals, commonly organophosphate pesticides (OPs), become overly sensitive to a wide variety of chemically-unrelated compounds..." (Overstreet, et al., 1996).  "The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recognized chemical sensitivity as a symptom of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (Mindfully.org 2007, citing: Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 2006).
