The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast

Episode 56 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
https://www.chemicalsensitivitypodcast.org/

It’s called “En Environmental Refugee."
I'm speaking with Sue, who goes by the name Canary Involuntary. She lives with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).
We spoke about:
* Her ongoing experiences living in an RV in Massachussetts.
* Medical dismissal.
* Attempts to stay employed.
* The isolation and strength it takes to go on.
* How she documents her life and advocates for people with MCS on Instagram.
Thanks so much to Canary Involuntary (Sue) for speaking with me and thank you for listening.
