"This phenomenon was first described in the early1950s by Dr. Theron G. Randolph, then a professor at Northwestern University. He noted several of his patients had a “petrochemical problem” in that they became ill when passing through the heavily industrialized areas of northwest Indiana and South Chicago. Dr. Randolph suggested that human failure to adapt to modern-day synthetic chemicals had resulted in a new form of sensitivity to these substances. Randolph was a new breed of “clinical ecologist” who believed chemical antigens are not always eliminated from the body and can lodge in fatty tissue and act as continual irritants to the immune system. Once a person is sensitized to a substance, future exposures can lead to increasingly severe and debilitating reactivity."
