These 'DU made me sick' stories pop up every so often. Some people want to make DU the culprit for every malignancy, unexplained illness, cluster of illnesses, and birth defect that occurs in an area after military operations.

What they fail to accept is that toxins need a route of entry, a toxic dose exposure, and that toxins target organs or systems, not just general health. Also, birth defects require specific exposures at specific times in gestation, not just any exposure at any time.

IMO, this is just more DU hysteria.
