[U S Army EOD]

I have no idea. People die from blood clots all the time. I have had a serious one myself from hitting a diving board. All I am saying is, if all of a sudden the death rate is higher among normally healthy people, we need to look at what that group is doing different. If they all went to the same place, if they all ate the same thing, if they all had the same innoculations at the same time.

While I was in EOD we destroyed 22 55 gal drums of agent orange on my demo range. My entire unit a few years later seem to be all having the same problems. However, there was a spread of 10 years in all of our ages. This was an indicator that something had happened to all of us at the same time such as exposure to something that hurt us.

how many years after agent orange exposure did youall start experiencing troubles? my diabetes started affecting me about 3-5 years, though it took 10 years and an insurance physical to confirm diagnosis of full blown diabetes.
