Abstract

Until recently there has been little understanding of the disease process that leads to Chemical Intolerance (CI). Allergy and toxicology have limited applicability in a “sick building” or a home with low-level volatile organic compound (VOC) exposures. Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT) offers a fresh perspective. TILT is distilled from the collective observations of hundreds of physicians and researchers in more than a dozen countries where people speak different languages and consult different practitioners. A new questionnaire (QEESI) can assist researchers, doctors and affected individuals in recognizing CI and TILT.
