Does anyone know for sure when the USAF stopped the use of Malathion in the dip? I remember utilizing dip tanks at Lackland, being thrown in when we were done with the old Patrol school there, and remember accomplishing the diping of our dogs at clark in 85 and 86. Reason I am asking is I have had problems identified as MS then they say it is not that, dont know what is causing my nero problems to include dizzy speels (I take meds to control from time to time) and loss of feeeling in my feet and hands...Just wondering as I am still on active duty, and retire this year...Thanks
