2-butoxyethanol overexposure LOOKS LIKE the FLU
This is what an acute exposure to this chemical would be like:

12-19-03 Daughter: "Yes, I remember all to well when my eyes started burning like there was hot pokers in them. It coincided with a VERY nasty stomach bug...vomiting, the runs...it was miserable. My urine turned black, like coffee. The day I got sick I had been rolling around in a very nasty store cleaning up the mess. (box account in Sugar Land, TX) That night I was so sick...took me 2 days to get the energy up to drag myself to the doctor's office & threw up all over it for him to tell me I had the flu."
Margaret: "These 'flu' like symptoms are also the signs of having too much chemical exposure of some kind. Now, what were you using to clean up?"
(Shares her mother, "She has many of the symptoms you are talking about. The doctors don't know what's wrong. She has been diagnosed with kidney failure and a lot of other scary things. She is 31 and expected to die.) |
Kidney & liver & glandular damage ... part of what 2-butoxyethanol would do
Here is another Navy man's comments - 'Cisero' He is describing things like the symptoms of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning. He says he wasn't in the Gulf War during the right time period.
The military can answer what the KNOWN exposures to
The National Academy of Sciences, in their 2003 book,
Gulf War and Health Vol 2, p. 612,
the page on Insecticides and Solvents
They do list them as solvent exposures For Gulf War Troops *
How do you feel?
A chemical exposure that is the same for EVOS & Gulf war vets
|
After oil, which does not seem to be a primary cause of harm for most EVOS workers OR 'gulf war syndrome' vets ... though it is harmful....
the only chemical exposure that is the same for gulf war vets and Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers ... is 2-butoxyethanol.
