Exposure to 2- butyl ethanol caused anemia in dog & its owners

2-butyl ethanol exposure

What is BUTYL? CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂_{This is 2butyl?}

Schools should do a survey on what happens to their janitors * * *

Mary, "My son worked for the school system as a JANITOR in the past for a 5 year period" *

"I notice that ANGER is there so suddenly over just little things!" 2009

Many cleaning products that are said to be safe, ARE NOT *

So sorry for the loss of your pet,
and the anemia/ cough that you are experiencing

I believe that small bodies / such as pets have,
can get too much exposure before a bigger animal (like us) would
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/msn/ourpets/menu.htm

The harm of glycol ether / whether made from oil or from corn (natural)

is what you are looking at

I think the most serious exposure is vapors getting into your eyes

Maybe the carpet cleaning person wore air tight goggles / good hand protection, etc

The anemia is what your dog had/

but for you it is 'approaching' AIHA

So many autoimmune issues start up at the same time,
that the anemia (Proof of glycol ether ... usually 2-butoxyethanol ... would be the cause)

So, I suspect this is the anemia that those who have CFIDS, CFS, FM have

The vapors hang in the air, and with our air-tight rooms ... you keep getting exposed (cough is one sign of chemical over exposure whether this or other)

Flu symptoms, in my opinion, have little if anything to do with a virus ... * look for glycol ether exposure Immediately BEFORE the flu symptoms start up

Glycol Ether Exposure 'looks like' the flu *
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/flu/swine/glycolether.htm

Most of the time, flu is caused by a chemical exposure NOT a virus *

. . and anemia Caused by

Most probable cause of 'the flu' *

Practical suggestions:

Turn on the air vents at the bathrooms / range ... for about half an hour

Open windows and put a fan in the house,

and get the existing air OUT (I think the fumes hang in the air)

On some of these links are helps to find the anemia,
but you have to have a doctor who is interested
and open to new suggestions

ask the doctor to have the lab tech LOOK at the red blood cells
and find out everything about them

Even very high white blood cell counts can eventually indicate a more advanced AIHA or IMHA
NOT an infection as is generally suspected

I have some thoughts for help for Senator Robert Byrd and Justice Ruth Ginsburg

Exposure to Glycol Ethers and Subsequent Anemia *

Thank you for your comments about exposure to glycol ethers and subsequent anemia.

The scientific literature seems to support your concerns.

Thanks for contacting the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences!

NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol pdf 6 pages *

EPA - CA Janitorial Study *

What else does EGBE do? *

2-butoxyethanol *   *
   * exposure can lead to hemolytic anemia. Other Glycol Ethers, too?

C₆H₁₄O₂/CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OH

8 signs of hemolytic anemia per medical dictionary (AIHA or IMHA)

Chills
Fatigue
Pale color
Shortness of breath
Rapid heart rate * *
Yellow skin color (jaundice)
Dark urine (Blood in Urine)
Enlarged spleen

expanded * * *
weariness: *    *   check kidney hormones

Medical Surveillance:

Consider the points of attack (liver, kidneys, lymphoid system, skin, blood, eyes, respiratory system) in placement and periodic physical examinations.

									2-Butoxyethanol 
									causes acute hemolytic anemia 
									in rats

In F344 male rats,
									2-butoxyethanol 
									causes severe acute hemolytic anemia 
									resulting in significant increase in the 
									concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. 
									Secondary to the hemolytic effects, 
									2-butoxyethanol 
									also caused
									
									hemoglobinuria as well as 
									histopathologic changes in the liver and 
									kidney.

*Notes to Physician: Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat acidosis.

Monitor kidney and liver function and arterial blood gases closely.

Doctors say they do not know what the fatigue of CFIDS, CFS, FM is

I suspect the exposure to 2-butoxyethanol or other glycol ether from carpet cleaning caused the near death of Jett Travolta when he was 2. The doctors notice that an autoimmune issue called Kawasaki Syndrome happens often after carpet cleaning ... for children. I think it caused his Autism * and eventual seizures (which can be from lack of oxygen) *

Jett Travolta must have run into this type of chemical at age 2 *, took until age 16 before he died *

Household Data base

Spot Shot carpet cleaner is 25% 2-butoxyethanol & it is SPRAYED, too

AO was mixed with jet fuel / gasoline so it would adhere to the foliage

My thoughts to the AMA for Dr. Ron Davis, AMA President age 52 on 6-18-08, who has been diagnosed this year with advance pancreatic cancer (Died 11-7-08) Blog

Find ANEMIA for proof that EGBE causes CFIDS, CFS, FM *

Diarrhea then Constipation?

Seizures to Fainting to Dizziness *

A precursor to THE Anemia *

Why I looked into 2-butoxyethanol

Memory Loss - a noticeable stand out harm of 2-butoxyethanol or glycol ether exposure

YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE

BEFORE YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT HELP

Besides ANEMIA >>> depression, is memory loss, headaches,
