Wilton,
 
My dad often told us he had severe headaches afterward.  Where he was they walked through fields that were powder coated, or were in direct path's where they were spraying overhead.
 
I wish dad were still here, I could ask more, but he passed a little more than a year ago.

There is another chemical in the mix which was more probably to blame:  Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether aka 2-butoxyethanol.  It is the autoimmune causing chemical.  Autoimmune hypothalamus could be a cause of the headaches and also abnormal body temperature (high then; most probably sub normal today ... less than 98.6); also high or low blood sugar / high or low blood pressure

Just like vets from other wars ... & civilians with CFIDS (CFS, FM , ME for short) you are dealing with an autoimmune immune system PRIMARILY.  (dioxin got the blame, but another chemical did most the health damage)

Headaches must be something autoimmune ... maybe along the lines of autoimmune hypothalamus or AI pituitary

Look Alike?

Do WWII Vets, Vietnam Vets, Korean Vets, Gulf war vets and civilians with CFIDS look alike?  Do they look like the Exxon Valdez oil spill 'bioremediation' workers?  Do they look like our soldiers who fight in wars today?

Just because a company is says a product is 'safe' or non toxic .... does not mean that is the case. 

Simple Green is 6% 2-butoxyethanol

2-butoxyethanol and Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether are nothing to play around with.  This is the kind of chemical that would cause the most harm to our military, to housewives ... suspect it for causing the chronic fatigue syndromes:  CFS, FM, CFIDS.

Suspect it for causing DIABETES and many autoimmune issues, tumors and cancers: 'gulf war syndrome'

Audrey got ahold of me for her husband's exposure to misting Simple Green for 45 minutes at work. He must have died, because she was very interested & now no reply.

You probably know that the company claims Simple Green is non toxic. They use Dow Chemical's trade name for 2-butoxyethanol: Butyl Cellosolve. They base their claim on a diluted test of the the product (about a capful in a half gallon of water)

and THEREFORE state because it is too diluted, it is not toxic. The gallon size container offers a full strength choice of use ... and no change in warnings. Personally I think that is negligent failure to warn. Simple Green is used in our Nation's penitentiaries almost exclusively.  I suspect it's used extensively in the Military, too.

I checked a retired Army man out of his rental today.  I had told him about this chemical.  And when I did the 'walk-thru' he commented that they cleaned with Simple Green; then he took a near empty spray bottle of it and said, "See, non toxic and biodegradable!" 

To which I replied, "Don't believe everything you hear"

Then, after he left, I noticed there were a half dozen bottles of kid's flu medicine and allergy medicines.  The three little ones that he & his wife love so much, obviously were having 'the sniffles'  (Loosening of the sinuses is one thing that 2-butoxyethanol exposure would look like)
