Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Albert Donnay
Albert Donnay, MS, MHS, identifies a MUSES syndrome, overlapping with MCS and other conditions, that is caused by the long-term effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Albert Donnay (personal communication, May 18, 2022) says, "I no longer recommend oxygen therapy for people with MCS (although it feels good) because the line between helpful and harmful is too thin. The higher the concentration of oxygen people inhale, the higher the concentration of carbon monoxide they make in response."
Further information will be forthcoming.
