MCS & Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT): Shahir Masri
Dr. Shahir is a member of theHoffman TILT Program at the University of Texas Health Science Centre in San Antonio. It is an organization that conducts critical research, education, and outreach about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Toxic Induced Loss of Tolerance or TILT.
Dr. Masri is also an assistant specialist in air pollution exposure assessment and epidemiology at the University of California, Irvine. He teaches courses on environmental health and pollution at Chapman University in Orange, California and National University in San Diego, California.
Dr. Masri holds a Doctorate in Science from the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.
In this conversation, Dr. Masri talks about how environmental scientists understand MCS, why so many people with the illness struggle to get a medical diagnosis, and how the condition is likely to continue to affect millions of people in the coming years.
Thank you to Dr. Masri for taking the time to speak on the podcast. I hope you find the insights he shares are helpful and interesting. Links to two 2021 articles about TILT from the Hoffman TILT Program. The second is co-authored by Dr. Shahir Masri:

Art, Accessibility, & MCS: Michel Dumont
00:39:36
In this episode, Aaron speaks with Michel Dumont.
Michel is a queer, two-spirited, disabled, Métis artist who lives and works with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). He resides in Thunder Bay in northern Ontario, Canada.
A lot of Michel's art involves what he calls ‘faux taxidermy.' He makes beautiful, colourful animal objects — bears are some of his favourites — with found taxidermy and covers them over with discarded vintage tile. The results are fabulous mosaic pieces. Michel also creates wearable art using packing tape, mylar, cellophane and LED lights. His work has been exhibited at galleries across Canada.
In this podcast chat, Michel speaks about how he uses materials that are safer for him as a person with MCS, and that sometimes he’s been judged for his choices. He also talks about the challenges of exhibiting art as someone with MCS, how he draws on his Indigenous and Métis roots, and how his mother’s experiences as a survivor of the Indian Residential School System influence his creative practices.
The Canadian government and a number of churches removed and separated Indigenous children from their families and communities and forced them to attend residential schools. Most of the 139 Indian Residential Schools stopped operating by the mid-1970s, but the last federally-run school closed in the late 1990s. In recent years, the remains of hundreds of children have been found on the sites of former Indian Residential Schools.
Part of this episode deals with traumatic memories of past abuse. If you are a survivor of the Residential School System, you can call the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line anytime. The number is 1-866-925-4419.

Finding Support Online: Brenda Fincher and Shelley Petit
00:29:29
This episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is about finding community and supporting one another online.
Since so many people with MCS are dismissed and misdiagnosed by healthcare professionals, the internet is often a vital source of information about the illness. And because of the social isolation that many folks with MCS experience, connecting with others online and supporting one another can play an important role in many people’s lives.
In this episode, Aaron speaks with Brenda Fincher, a longtime administrator, and Shelley Petit, a member of The Multiple Chemical Sensitivity group on Facebook. It was formed about seven years ago, is one of the largest MCS groups online, and now has more than 8,200 members from around the world.
In their conversation, Aaron asks Brenda and Shelley about the role online community can play in the lives of people with MCS, how they have personally benefited from being involved with The Multiple Chemical Sensitivity group, and how they see their online activities as a form of activism.
Thank you for listening!

This episode features a conversation with a man who has severe MCS. We take a deep dive into how the illness affected his marriage with his former wife and ultimately contributed to the end of their relationship. We've kept his and his former partner's identities confidential.

This episode is about living in vehicles as a refuge.
It features a conversation with two women with severe MCS. They have had to make difficult decisions to live in their vehicles because synthetic and scented chemicals that many people use make them very ill.
You'll hear Maggie, who chose to use a pseudonym, and Evangeline Elmendorf Greene. Both women live in Arizona in the western United States, sometimes driving to neighbouring states where they are not exposed to chemicals and forest fire smoke.
Maggie and Evangeline talk about:
Social isolation that comes with living in vehicles.
The challenge of finding vehicles that allow them to be healthy.
How they are among countless other environmental refugees whose illnesses are not well understood and remain stigmatized.
It was moving hearing Maggie and Evangeline’s stories. I’m very grateful to them for sharing their experiences. I hope you enjoy the conversation and find it of benefit.
Thanks so much for listening.

This episode is titled “Fragrance-Free Church?”
The focus is on churches, however, I think the discussion is relevant foranyone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) who may be struggling to access indoor spaces, whether they are run by faith-based organizations or not.
I’m speaking with Martha McLaughlin, author of the extraordinary book “Chemicals and Christians: Compassion and Caution.” Martha spent years exploring the science behind the illness and makes it accessible to everyone in her book.
In our conversation, Martha discusses:
A process of grief and acceptance that many people with MCS go through as they navigate life with the condition.
How people with MCS who go to church face barriers because of the presence of scented products.
The steps Martha and others have taken to ask churches to become fragrance-free, how churches have responded, and how churches could do more to ensure they are not excluding people with chemical sensitivities.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and find it of benefit.

I’m speaking with author Marcus Sedgwick, who wrote the book “Snowflake, AZ,” published in 2019.
The novel focuses on Ash, who travels by Greyhound bus to find their stepbrother Bly, who was last seen in Snowflake, Arizona. It’s a community where many people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) have settled, at an altitude of 6,000 feet in the desert, to get away from chemicals that are all too common in urban environments.
In our conversation, Marcus explores:
● How the character Ash first views so-called canaries, people with MCS who live in Snowflake, and how the character's views shift when they develop the illness.
● His experience visiting the community of Snowflake, AZ, and getting to know people with MCS who reside there.
● How long COVID may be changing the way some authorities in some countries are responding to chronic illnesses.

She is an anthropologist and specializes in culture and medicine and works at the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at the University of Edinburgh Medical School.
As a researcher, Andrea builds on her experience as a practicing birth doula to examine the impact of chemicals on the endocrine system. She also specializes in how chemicals affect childbearing women, foetuses, and infants.
In our conversation, Andrea explores how:
The placenta does not protect the foetus from chemicals.
Many women spend time and energy identifying products that potentially keep their unborn children and infants safe.
Reducing the number of chemicals is everyone’s responsibility.
Breastfeeding can pass chemicals from mothers to infants, but in spite of this, it is still widely recommended because of its benefits.

Toxicology & Communities of Resistance: Melina Packer
New episodes twice a month. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
Please support our work to help us continue creating greater awareness about MCS. Thank you very much!
In Episode 18, “Toxicology & Communities of Resistance," I’m speaking with Melina Packer, Ph.D.
Melina is a postdoctoral research associate in the Feminist Lenses for Animal Interaction Research (FLAIR) Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is currently writing a queer feminist history of toxicology in the U.S., in which she argues that racial, gendered, and economic hierarchies are embedded into the science itself. These inherent biases, in turn, help explain how and why marginalized peoples remain disproportionately more exposed to toxic environmental chemicals.
In our conversation, Melina explores:
How society became inundated with synthetic chemicals or toxicants.
How women, especially women of color, factory- and farm-workers, LGBTQ+ people, and members of other socially marginalized groups, are often over-burdened by toxic exposures.
What endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are and how they challenge core tenets of toxicology.
How over-exposed communities are pushing back against the chemical industry.

It’s the first in an ongoing series that we’re calling The MCS Podcast Book Club.
I’m speaking with four women with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) — two in the U.S. and two from Canada. They are Caren Kirk, Donna Reid, Jacqueline Rice, and Ronda Sternhagen.
The women share their thoughts about the 2020 book, “The Sensitives: The Rise of Environmental Illness and the Search for America's Last Pure Place” by Oliver Broudy.
The book is about a journey Broudy took to try to understand MCS. We discuss how the author conducted a lot of research, outlines how we are all exposed to toxic chemicals, but according to my guests, fails to put the false argument that MCS is in our heads to rest.
Share your thoughts about the conversation and the book.
