What were
the results?
As to the blood damage of
2-butoxyethanol (the complex version should be worse) Some say, "Oh, blood
damage is only temporary. You will recover once exposure
is removed."
Now, that's sort of like
playing Russian Roulette.
It doesn't seem to take
that much exposure to cause harm. Who knows when you've
had one little bit too much, and the long term effects 'kick
in?'
And if you
keep exposing yourself to this chemical, you can expect more and
more serious 'diagnosis' and harm to you
You
will have to watch
out for this chemical - the rest of your life.
Better yet, let's get the Legislature to BAN these!
Also,
for a long time now, farmers who used pesticides
have been coming down with prostate cancer, haven't they?
Besides
Liver and Kidney function being regularly tested for, men should
most especially be tested for
this
What
would the counterpart be for women?
(damage to ovaries?)
Blood
pressure seems to go high with exposure to these
chemicals. Is that a function of the endocrine system,
too?
Those
affected by this chemical.
