IT GIVES MUCH NEEDED RELIEF

There is a small group of people in this world who need to stay away from many things. They cannot be near certain things like perfume, smoke, smells and electrical waves. If they are exposed to these things, they can feel weak, anxious, dizzy and even vomit. Some of them cannot even work or live with other people. These hypersensitive people suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). And they need special help.

MCS sufferers in Switzerland have found relief in a specially designed building that is free from chemicals and electrical waves. In that building, nobody is allowed to use perfume, mobile phones and so on. Even while the building was being built, special materials had to be used and contruction workers were not allowed to use cologne and other items.

MCS sufferers are often accused of being hypochondriacs, who are people who worry too much about their health. They believe that their symptoms are a sign of serious illness.
