We're the city that has it all and you know what we want? MORE.

Almost overnight, my healthy mom became "allergic to the world" with chemical intolerance. Perfume, diesel, and new carpeting all left her bedridden.

I set out to learn what might have happened to her and, along the way, met one of the condition's leading researchers: www.wired.com/story/multip...

After I was born, my mom went from being strong and active to bedridden when exposed to everyday chemicals. 35 years later, I set out to learn why—and found that the condition’s leading researcher had a fascinating story of her own. I profiled her for Wired: www.wired.com/story/multip...
