Fainting? Dizzy? Blacking out?
Usually thought of as constricted veins/arteries from cholesterol
... that someone's not getting enough blood to the brain
- such as would be precursors to stroke and heart attack
- However, with 2-butoxyethanol poisoning, there is hemolytic anemia
A person's body is prematurely killing off their own red blood cells -
first and always noticed by a continual exhaustion that does not go away.
As it gets more pronounced, doctors can find the hemolytic anemia...
but not unless they specifically look for it in the early years;
borderline normal in blood counts may not be normal at all
for those with 2-butoxyethanol poisoning
If the bone marrow is not making enough blood - red blood cells - thus similar symptoms?
Fainting? Dizzy? Blacking out?
from the lack of volume of blood?
Get a head start -
be involved in your doctor's decisions
relating to your health
The medical profession is noting
that being proactive produces a better end result!
Workers from EVOS are collapsing - several in recent months
- maybe 14 years out is about all a body can stand?

If your immune system has been compromised from too much chemical of some type - such as 2-butoxyethanol - Did you know that rheumatoid arthritis can be caused from a compromised immune system? Exposed to too many chemicals? You need to avoid all chemicals as much as possible - even prescription medications - as they, too, can become toxic in your system Learn to avoid all chemicals, as much as possible, including smoking and especially drinking. Alcohol is in the same family of chemicals that 2-butoxyethanol is ... 2-butoxyethanol is used in many industries & in products at home and at work. 2-butoxyethanol targets the kidneys and liver; and alcohol speeds the damage to your liver. AND Avoid using products too strong in 2-butoxyethanol - the 'stealth killer' in the USA today! If you worked on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup - you could have been exposed to this, too
Guys can collapse from lack of blood - they are noticing 'dizzy' spells and black outs - even fainting..... & it's being ruled a heart attack or stroke, when it is neither! (?) Check in earnest for the hemolytic anemia
Check blood for mean cell volume (MCV) & look at the red blood cells under a microscope.
Check the reticulocyte count. Lab tech, what is the percentage of juvenile blood cells to the mass of blood? Are the adult red blood cells 'ragged & beat up?' Men Women
These are ideas for your doctor to check - Not a doctor's suggestion - however, the medical field seems 'stumped' as to what to do with these who've come into contact with 2-butoxyethanol.
