 Not unlike other poorly defined illnesses, many doctors believe hypersensitivity to chemicals is a psychological illness. But, the medical profession's track record for correctly identifying what is and is not a psychological illness is poor. That said, the exact pathophysiology of the disease is unclear. Given the size of the human microbiome and its ability to dysregulate the immune response, microbes, especially microbes in the gut, undoubtedly play a role in MCS.  Not unlike other poorly defined illnesses, many doctors believe hypersensitivity to chemicals is a psychological illness.
