Now I am by no means saying I or anyone else has this BUT in reading my book home safe home which is very outdated they mentioned something interesting.........(below) so I wondered what was out there 'today' almost 22 years later on the topic.
Quote: "Multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) is now fairly widely known and accepted by at least par tof the medical community. A peron becomes sensitive through immune system damage caused by either a one time dangerously high level exposure or continous low level exposure such as is found in modern homes and office buildings. Once the damage is done, all sorts of low level exposures, such as to perfume or cleaning products, can cause symptoms. All sorts of symptoms are possible, including dizzines, fainting, itchy, burning eyes, runny or congested nose, dry throat, shorteness of breath, asthma, upset stomatch, diarheah, menstrual problems, extreme fatigue, insomnia, memory lapses, poor concentration, depression, and behavioral changes."
Here is what I would have to guess would be the best site for up to date info:

If anything it does seem the CF population would be at a higher risk for this and less likely to pick it up since it would most likely be 'par for the cf course' whether it showed up as athritis like or breathing like symptoms.
Interesting food for thought
