ROBERTA S. (b. 1944) Tucson, Arizona "I was injured as a
child. My father worked in a factory mixing chemicals to
make plastics for electrical fuse boxes. The chemicals
were all over the clothes he wore at home and in the
empty chemical barrels that I played with. For the past
13 years I have lived in my car traveling from place to
place looking for a "safe" house so I can be
indoors. I am so worn out I think I will die soon." |

MARY S. (b. 1954) BABY KITT (b. 1991) Tucson, Arizona
"I grew up on a ranch in Tucson. My hobby used to be
body building. I decided to have silicone breast implants
but shortly afterwards began to feel sick and weak. The
many doctors I visited told me there was no scientific
evidence to indicate that it was the breast implants and
told me to go ahead and nurse the baby. Baby Kitt vomited
after he was nursed and was sick all the time. By the
time I finally convinced a doctor to remove the implants,
Kitt and myself were severely injured with MCS and had to
move to the desert living in this home-made tent. I
cannot tolerate building materials, electricity and
pesticides. The desert where Baby Kitt and I live will be
leveled for a golf course making us homeless." |
