Another gulf war vet shares ... only his daughter lived longer: 

"A gulf war vet shared that last year their little girl turned 10 years old and was diagnosed with hepatitis. It was an autoimmune hepatitis and her immune system was attacking her own liver. She died Dec, 2003

He knew I was studying such issues and asked me if I had heard of that. I said, "No, but that it would be the kind of thing that 2-butoxyethanol would do" Liver and kidneys and other bodily systems including blood are at risk.

The blood damage that is not found is autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Maybe you could ask the doctors whether or not she has that? They have to check the 'retic rate' and other things like whether or not the red blood cells are immature and whether or not there is blood in urine. www.valdezlink.com/psa.htm The hemoglobin and hematocrit that they first look at usually is OK except in the most extreme cases.

Parents harmed by this chemical can pass along some of it to their children because it is a teratogen. www.valdezlink.com/pages/teratogens.htm
and if the parents are doing menial work, like housekeeping, cleaning of buildings and such, they could very easily run into this chemical
