Indeed, it appears to be the same thing that is seen after exposure to many pesticides and solvents and other toxic chemicals and mixtures. Originally recognized by allergists who called it a kind of chemical sensitivity, we now realize that within the population there are varying capacities to detoxify and excrete toxics. This variability is a function of genetic differences and past exposures to toxics, which may poison enzyme systems. Chemobrain can also be seen following treatment with other drugs.
