Abstract

The report of a Multiple Chemical Sensitivity case highlights two original points. First, even if non-controlled, the reappearance of MCS symptoms after an accidental re-exposure to one scentless semi-volatile chemical (permethrin) of the initial toxic cocktail exposure can be considered as a double blind re-exposure study in situ. Second, environmental toxicology investigations were warrant for a correct treatment and prevention measures.
