We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

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.
