Three Soldiers Die - 'Flu-like' Symptoms?


This is a TODAY problem... exposure to the chemical which I suspect is the cause of CFS, CFIDS, 'Gulf War Syndrome' ... and our troops today along with moms and mechanics and those who paint ... in every walk of life.  *

Third Soldier Dies After Exhibiting Flu-Like Symptoms   2-17-05 article
Sgt. Clay Garton Reportedly Dies From Infection

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The mysterious death of a third soldier with North Carolina ties is raising questions. All three died from flu-like symptoms after returning from overseas deployments , according to a report by affiliate station WRAL.

Sgt. Clay Garton's family says the Army veteran exhibited flu-like symptoms after returning from overseas deployments.

Sgt. Clay Garton was a flight medic at Fort Bragg. He spent 16 months in Iraq and returned home in July. Then, he got sick.

His family said he had symptoms like the flu. He fought it for three weeks, but his fever soared to 106 degrees. The day after Christmas, he died.

"They came out in five minutes and said, 'He's gone,'" said Duane Garton, Clay's father.

According to a preliminary autopsy report, Garton's liver and spleen were swollen . His wife said doctors told her he died from infection.

It is the third recent example of soldiers dying after exhibiting flu-like symptoms . Capt. Gilbert Munoz was a special forces soldier at Fort Bragg who was deployed to the Middle East. After he got back, he died from a bacterial infection.

Sgt. Christopher Rogers was a reservist from Raleigh. He went to Afghanistan. After he came home, his temperature hit 109 degrees. His widow, Windy Rogers, wonders whether he had what Munoz had.

"Chris was admitted with flu-like symptoms . Whatever it was, it shut all of his organs down -- shut them all down -- and I want to know what happened," she said.

The flu?

This is what an acute exposure to 2-butoxyethanol would do. Could be the same thing as SIDS - the organs shut down, starting with the liver, and then the other organs, and you stop breathing.

Spleen enlarged ?  

Most likely a symptom of acute acquired autoimmune hemolytic anemia . If so, 'retic' rate would have been very high. Red blood cells would have been ragged and beat up. There would have been blood in urine.

No wonder they couldn't fight infection , their immune system was busy attacking THEM! What were they doing 15 minutes before this all started?

I think transport equipment should include a set of goggles, and I think if they compare notes, they will find an exposure to 2-butoxyethanol or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether for each of these dear men.

How is our Senator from New York?  Hillary and her Staff had 'flu-like' symptoms this month.  I suspect the same health concerns here.  Could someone ask her to consider this?

PS

This chemical is no respecter of persons

The harm of 2-butoxyethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether has been unrecognized for civilians and military alike for over half a century

For those who live depression, grouchiness  and headaches go with 'the territory'
