Chemical Intolerance Self Assessment - This is a Self-Assessment Questionnaire created by medical researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, for people globally, who don't have access to a doctor. It can be used for personal use by people who suspect that they might have chemical intolerance. It is also sometimes used internationally as a screening tool by doctors and medical researchers. This self-assessment questionnaire is called Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory (QEESI).
