2. It's called multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)

There's a great (and weird) film by Todd Haynes staring Julianne Moore (she's great!) about MCS called "Safe" (no not the other "Safe"!) Made in 199-something.

I love Haynes films. They are bizarre, but beautiful and visual.

Moore plays this woman who is barely there. One scene she talks to a friend who's bother is dying. Another friend is about to have a baby. Her biggest happening is they sent the wrong color couch. She drinks milk (a baby) while her latin housekeeper takes care of everything. Her marriage is loveless. In the 1st part of the film , everything starts to make her sick. Finally, she has a seizure when she goes to pick up the dry-cleaning (all the chemicals). The last half of the film she's in a place like the place in AZ and the film becomes about the scam and manipulation of these new age help facilities.

Check it out.

Cracked is great, but this is a glaring omission!
