How is Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) primarily diagnosed?

Through detailed blood tests
Based on subjective information and symptom description
Using advanced imaging techniques such as MRI
Through genetic markers

The correct answer is: Based on subjective information and symptom description

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a condition in which a person experiences adverse reactions to low levels of common chemical substances. While advanced imaging techniques and blood tests may be useful in ruling out other conditions, MCS is primarily diagnosed based on subjective information and symptom description. This is because there is no specific biomarker or laboratory test for MCS, making it a clinical diagnosis based on reported symptoms. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not the primary methods for diagnosing MCS.
