Back up info

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?'

Poison - Avoid if possible

Looks like Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether

is the same as 2-butoxyethanol - only worse

To the Pentagon - Help Our troops!

Legislators - Help our nation!
