Sorry the 'news' isn't good. 

But can't we at least get an accurate diagnosis?

 

Can't we at least stand up and be counted,

"No one else harmed by ethylene glycol ethers!"

 

Ask your doctor to check these items in your blood 

Homework - Any of these symptoms?

 

 If so, when?

 
"These 'flu' like symptoms are also the signs of having too much chemical exposure of some kind.   
How do you feel?  

Says a 31 year old - diagnosed with kidney failure:

"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 cleaning up at work.  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."  
Do you have these symptoms of hemolytic anemia?  *  
AND, do you have this blood damage?  *  *  
Combined with an assortment of these? *  *  
Check Retic ratio & ask comments on red blood cells  
The Key? Look for the right things in your blood!  
Ask doctor to look at this research  
See a hematologist - an endocrinologist  
Kidney and Liver function?  
Ask CDC to do appropriate study - Study these  

These 2 chemicals have not been researched or studied for Gulf War Syndrome

Yet, troops have known exposure to them. 

What are these exposures?

There are also some hidden sources of exposure.

If products can't be used safely - DON'T Use

Since the public doesn't have an education on what 2-butoxyethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ethers do to you ... simply giving the 'Proper Use Instructions' of wear goggles, gloves, rinse eyes for 15 minutes, don't get in waterways, etc. DOESN'T CUT IT

Say to the public instead, "that they will have damaged: blood, liver, kidneys, skin, eyes, central nervous system including depression and short term memory loss, and suicidal tendencies; endocrine system (high blood pressure/high blood sugar/reproductive damage) and tell them, too, it doesn't take much exposure to cause this! The more exposure the sooner you die; and the more horrible the death. Cancers very probable. Sterility possible . Children at risk for birth defects and leukemia and tumor of the brain. Multiple existing health studies 'skewed' because the primary cause is not mentioned or known:

2-butoxyethanol poisoning

Here is one family's run in

Here workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup share

At least there was only one  primary chemical of harm for them.

Why focus on 2-butoxyethanol?

Worst thing about NOT knowing the chemical of harm - Is that you can't get an accurate diagnosis - Nor avoid future exposures to the same chemical
