If you indicate exposure to hazardous substances, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Have you suffered exposure to diesel exhaust fumes (as opposed to exhaust fumes in general)? For example, diesel mechanics, truck drivers, working at a truck stop, etc.

Possible responses:

→ No exposure / don't know
→ Light exposure for a short time
→ Light exposure for a long time
→ Heavy exposure for a short time
→ Heavy exposure for a long time

The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate mild diesel exhaust exposure, significant diesel exhaust exposure or severe diesel exhaust exposure, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as:

Allergic Rhinitis / Hay Fever

Diesel exhaust fumes and ozone can enhance the effects of inhaled allergens or have an effect on immune function.

Heavy Metal Toxicity

Indoor Allergies

Diesel exhaust fumes and ozone can enhance the effects of inhaled allergens or have an effect on immune function.

Liver Detoxification / Support Requirement
