For Elana Safar, navigating the world isn’t always simple. That’s because she has multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), a condition where the body reacts to chemicals often found in perfumes, deodorants, cleaning solutions, and beyond. On today’s episode, Elana and I talk about the physical symptoms of MCS and how the condition impacts her day-to-day life. We also discuss why it’s uniquely hard to ask people to stop using perfumes, and her hope that, one day, fragrance-free spaces will be the norm.
