Q: My son and I have multiple chemical sensitivity and had extreme trouble with our Christmas tree this year. First we bought a live tree, then a fake one. Both caused my son to have bad asthma attacks and we finally gave up on the tree, but Christmas just wasn't the same. What's the problem with trees? Is there something we can we do next year to replace our tree with something safe so we can enjoy Christmas?
The mission of MCS America (MCSA) is to propagate medical, legal, and social recognition for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) as a disorder of organic biological origin induced by toxic environmental insults; to provide support and referral services to the individuals with all illnesses of environmental origin; and to ensure that environmental toxicants are identified, reduced, regulated, and enforced through lobbying for effective legislation. © MCS America
