Anemia?  Not considered that serious . . . people think

But it is ...if it is the ANEMIA that BUTYL causes

You can't just get some iron and think that the blood forming organs will process it

and all is well

 Check for autoimmune action on the kidneys .... liver ...

The kidneys produce hormones that help build strong bones and help form red blood cells.

The kidney contains scattered cells that secrete erythropoietin,

a hormone essential for production of red blood cells.

16. Other MSDS Information on 2-butoxyethanol

NFPA Ratings: Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
Label Hazard Warning:

DANGER! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, LIVER & LYMPHOID SYSTEM. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID & VAPOR. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

Label Precautions:
Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Keep container closed.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep away from heat and flame.

Suspect a host of autoimmune issues including autoimmune hemolytic anemia 

I suspect this anemia is more life threatening than any other single issue!

Clues:  'the chills' rapid heart beat, gasping for breath ... pale (anemia clues)

PLUS depression, headaches, short term memory loss... personality changes

Medical Surveillancecheck

Consider the points of attack (liver, kidneys, lymphoid system, skin, blood, eyes, respiratory system) in placement and periodic physical examinations.

2-Butoxyethanol causes acute hemolytic anemia in rats

In F344 male rats, 2-butoxyethanol causes severe acute hemolytic anemia resulting in significant increase in the concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. Secondary to the hemolytic effects, 2-butoxyethanol also caused hemoglobinuria as well as histopathologic changes in the liver and kidney.

*Notes to Physician: Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat acidosis. 

Monitor kidney and liver function and arterial blood gases closely.

Exposure looks like the flu ... flatulence with diarrhea ... sometimes a cough ... 'the sniffles'

Protect Yourself From Future Harm - Learn what Products YOU use that contain it

Check for what products contain 2-butoxyethanol  such as
(CAS Registry Number: 000111-76-2)
in the Household Products Data Base
http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/ingredients.htm

5% concentration is not safe for home use, per one expert in product development.

Also check for the complex version Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether or 2-2-butoxyethanol

(CAS Registry Number: 000112-34-5)

Says the EPA / CA joint janitorial study: 

"Glycol alkyl ethers are commonly used as solvents. 2-Butoxy Ethanol is one of the most toxic of the glycol ethers."

"You should use products containing butoxyethanol with extreme care. It is a poison that can easily absorb through your skin to harm you. When working with it, always wear gloves and goggles and be sure the you have enough ventilation. More probably exposure is vapors in one's eyes ... but NOT ingestion as is suspected by some MSDSs

What to consider for help . . . . . .

 

Diabetes *   Autism *

An unexpected side effect of the hard to find anemia, AIHA or IMHA is high white blood cell counts (not an infection) ... this can lead to other issues that are autoimmune issues, not what has been suspected in the past:

Periodontal Disease - Autoimmune!

Degenerative Disk Disease - Autoimmune !  *

"I'm convinced that metabolic features (changes in cholesterol and lipid profile, changes in glucose uptake and cell use, mitochondrial diseases and so on) are among main underestimated issue of

2-BE," says a French journalist

How does our body 'complain' about too much of a chemical exposure?  *

My thoughts to the AMA for Dr. Ron Davis, AMA President age 52 on 6-18-08,

who has been diagnosed this year with advance pancreatic cancer (Died 11-7-08)

Help for THE ANEMIA that leads to Seizures

What ER doctors need to know

Another cause of very high white blood cell counts is this particular anemia 'side effect'
VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS  *  *

 
LEUKEMOID REACTION
    Classically, in IMHA the stimulation of the bone marrow is so strong that even the white blood cells lines (which have very little to do with this disease but which also are born and incubate in the bone marrow along side the red blood cells) are stimulated.

    This leads to white blood cell counts that are spectacularly high.

    This chemical can cause high or low blood sugar, high or low blood pressure; high or low body temp; High or low ... any glandular hormones - often thyroid with gall bladder issues prior; Horrible headaches; short term memory loss

    'civilian gulf war syndrome' aka CFIDS
