Exposure of Military Dog Handlers To Chemicals

Hazardous Exposure To Malathion & Other Chemicals.
Dog Handlers & other military personnel exposed while stationed in South-East Asia and other tropical areas. "In humans, symptoms of acute (short-time) exposure to malathion may include the following: headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal cramps, blurred vision, muscle twitching, respiratory depression, and slow heartbeat. If exposure to malathion occurs in very high doses it may result in unconsciousness, convulsions or even death. Long-term exposure may result in damage to the nerves leading to poor coordination in arms and legs. Malathion affects the central nervous system, immune system, adrenal glands, liver, and blood." The VA has acknowledged that spraying occurred outside of Viet Nam and will accept properly documented claims. Thailand veterans are winning VA appeals. Be determined, and file an appeal, if you are turned down. NOTE: BOLD & UNDERLINED names are email links to authors of entries.
Chemical Exposure Information

Subject: Agent Orange exposure at Utapo AFB ?
Author: American_Spirit [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:52:04 07/11/07 Wed Between about March to August of 1970 I was stationed there, working the bomb dump (BABs). While there we were advised to decontaminate the bomb casings of anything that appeared to look like "rust" etc. (Officers remarks were that it was required by the "Geneva Convention" in regards to not violating the Germ, Chimical and Biological Warfare stipulations). I was discharged from the active AF in 1970 and felt fine for about five years, then about 1975, I began have what was finally diagnosed as combination of Migrain/cluster Headache sydrome (sever headaches)lasting months to almost a year at a time. I have under gone numerous neurological evaluations and examinations and the doctors can fine no reason for the continued headaches which are non stop. I have had to resort to siezure control medication (prescribed by my neurologist) to prevent constantley reoccurring attacks. Until recently I never assumed Agent Orange could be involved until I saw the notice that it was possbile that it could have spread to thailand as well. (bombs were shipped in the holes of ships along with the agent at the time, so who knows?). Needless to say I would be interested in further information regarding this subject. 30 plus years of headaches is not very pleasent if you know what I mean (OH!, I did finish out my AF career with the AFRS/total 21 years, headaches and all).
