What is a characteristic symptom of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)?

  1. Fever and chills after medication intake

  2. Symptoms referable to many organ systems especially the central nervous system

  3. Rapid weight gain over short periods

  4. Reduction in symptoms with increased chemical exposure

The correct answer is: Symptoms referable to many organ systems especially the central nervous system

A and C are incorrect because they are not commonly associated with MCS. A fever and chills after medication intake would suggest an adverse reaction to a specific medication, not multiple chemical sensitivity. Rapid weight gain is also not a characteristic symptom of MCS. D is also incorrect because individuals with MCS often experience worsening of symptoms with increased chemical exposure, rather than a reduction in symptoms. Therefore, B is the only option that accurately describes a common characteristic of MCS.
