Just to let you know, we have had great success for security police and dog handlers getting compensated for exposure to herbicides in Thailand with DEROS between 1970 - 1974. So far we have 3 from U-Tapao, 2 from NKP, 1 from Korat, 1 from Udorn, and 1 from Ubon.

We have quite a few working including 3 more from NKP, 3 from Korat, 2 from Ubon, 1 from Udorn, and another from U-Tapao. Additionally, some are getting PTSD from the attacks there. Earlier tours (pre-1969) are not being approved, and unfortunately, I have nothing about Tahkli.

Do you know of anyone working for the dog handlers that were in the Phillipines and were exposed to Malathion on a regular basis through dipping of their dogs? My husband was at Clark for several years as a dog handler and had significant exposure. His time in Viet Nam was brief, as he worked guarding on the airlift out.
