6. Type IV hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

   Type IV hypersensitivity, in the Gell and Coombs classification of allergic reactions, often called delayed-type hypersensitivity, is a type of hypersensitivity reaction that can take a day or more to develop. [1] Unlike the other types, it is not humoral (not antibody -mediated) but rather is a type of cell-mediated response.

7. Multiple chemical sensitivity - Wikipedia

   Multiple chemical sensitivity ( MCS ), also known as idiopathic environmental intolerances ( IEI ), is an unrecognized and controversial diagnosis characterized by chronic symptoms attributed to exposure to low levels of commonly used chemicals. [1] [2] Symptoms are typically vague and non-specific. They may include fatigue, headaches, nausea ...
