Question 11984 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Paul Christophle alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the situation of people with multiple chemical sensitivity, also referred to by the acronym MCS. This chronic syndrome is characterized by an intolerance to very low concentrations of common chemical substances present in the daily environment, such as perfumes, household products, cosmetics, solvents, certain materials or additives. The people affected describe varied and often disabling symptoms: lasting exhaustion, neurological disorders, headaches, nausea, breathing difficulties, skin or digestive disorders. These manifestations profoundly alter the social, professional and family lives of patients. Although this condition is recognized or taken into account in several countries, the sensitivity multiple chemical does not benefit, in France, from clear institutional recognition, nor from specific diagnostic and treatment systems. This situation contributes to prolonged medical wandering and a lack of appropriate response from healthcare and social protection systems. Also, he asks him to please clarify the Government's intentions regarding the recognition of chemical sensitivity multiple, the improvement of support for the people concerned and, where appropriate, the initiation of work aimed at better consideration of this pathology by the health authorities.
