[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:44:09 11/10/07 Sat In reply to: MARILYN OLIVER 's message, "TAURA KING'S RESEARCH AND TVVET UPDATE" on 23:09:31 05/08/05 Sun Stationed at Utapio 70 to 71. Walking to the barracks from the club. Walked right through a cloud of spray from the truck going around the base spraying for bugs. Now have type II diabetis. How would you start to prove that it was (2,4-D; 2,4,5-T and its contaminant TCDD; cacodylic acid; or picloram) Any ideas out there? My guess it would be hard to find any info on what exactly was being sprayed. Thanks to the folks who are working on this. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
