I’m interested in effects on orange agent on blood cells. I heard that it was used in Vietnam and that consequences are still present. How does it affect human body? I’m especially interested in problems related to blood count. Post if you are informed about this.

Agent Orange is mixture of herbicides that had been used in control of broad leaf plants. But it was later learned that dioxin is present as side product in this mixture. Dioxin is well known human carcinogen associated with Hodgkin and non Hodgkin lymphoma and soft tissue cancers. Multiple myeloma is disorder in producing blood cells and it causes blood count problems. The list of diseases that are related to effects of Agent Orange and dioxin is so long. It’s not just myeloma that affects blood count. Bone cancer, leukaemia, circulatory disorders may also be responsible for that.

I was exposed to agent orange in Viet Nam in 1970-1971 and have had increased breathing problems ever since. Of course I had no idea my problems might be due to my exposure to agent orange but am starting to think most of my ills are caused from my exposure to agent orange so many yeara ago.
