Simply put, workers are tired from damage to their blood 

(hemolytic anemia), 

their skin is damaged (nose bleeds easily)

and their central nervous system: causing depression, difficulty concentrating, 

suicidal tendencies; 

they loose their temper easily; they have difficulty sleeping;  

reproductive damage is possible in men as well as women.  

There is concern for kidney and liver function. 

Bones don't heal as they should

Organs like spleen and gall bladder swollen unexplainably.

Concern for the lymph system (night sweats?)

& lungs, sinus too!

Pray that these will not get cancer.

Pray their children will be healthy.

Although not mentioned in the literature, 

workers are saying they are loosing their eyesight.  

A seasoned auto-painter commented, 

"The 2-butoxyethanol vapors enter thru the eyes and the cuticles."

Seems like the blood sugar is all 'whacky' too   

A para professional has read the abstracts and concludes that in the 1970's the researchers just dropped certain bio-markers.  They didn't test for 'em anymore.  The body couldn't throw the chemicals off; 

so they didn't look so bad in their research 

if they just didn't test for it any more.

They should call Hemolytic Anemia - 

"The Hide-Out Ailment"

It often goes undetected  

The symptoms seem identical to  those of 

That war ended with a HUGE oil spill - the Largest in History!

There were voluntary military and medics who washed birds in 1991; 

and there were the navy amphibious ships that housed the 'beach cleanup crews.'

 Just moving and storing the chemical compounds strong in 2-butoxyethanol 

appear to damage workers. 

One Austin TX company admitted to trying its own 'experiment' 

on the Saudi beaches with who knows what? 

And then multiple other nations 'rushed' to do what they could.  

There was not an approval, however, for bioremediation 'officially' and the "Scientific American" of Oct, 1991 declared that the Inipol EAP 22 of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup had not proved itself.
