Episode 22: Bodily Natures: Exploring Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. A Conversation with Stacy Alaimo, Ph.D.

The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast

Episode 22 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
The title is “Bodily Natures: Exploring Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.”
You’ll hear my conversation with Professor Stacy Alaimo, who teaches at the University of Oregon in the US. She specializes in environmental humanities, American literature, and how writers explore environmental threats to oceans, plants, and animals. Professor Alaimo also has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and describes it as relatively mild.
We start our conversation talking about her experiences with MCS. Then we explore her influential 2010 book, “Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material,” in which she writes in detail about MCS.
You’ll hear Professor Alaimo discuss:
• How many products that people buy make them ill in unexpected ways.
• Why the majority of people with MCS are women.
• How most people who are able to get diagnosed with MCS are white and have completed higher education.
• And more.
