Brian H. want to see again.

Hmmm.

Wouldn't it be more rational to blame either the infection or the drugs
used, rather than a long since past exposure to OP's, which aren't known
for producing these symptoms?

Not in this particular case.

The point I was attempting to make(obviously not very well)
was agricultural workers ingress unknown quantities of
chemicals.Possibly these chemicals remain dormant,
causing no symptoms until they are triggered by temperature or reaction to
powerful anti-biotic.

Remember, in the 50s and 60s farm workers were handling powerful chemicals
with little regard to health and safety. I don't remember using any
protective clothes, even gloves.

Rodine 25% arsenic,strychnine, dieldrene, sulphuric acid(to
burn off potato haulm), phosdrin, mevinphos, there are plenty of others that
were used into the 70s, DDT was still being used in 73 on brassicers and
organophosphates into
the 80s.
As an example,2cc of phosdrin injected into pheasant egg,
eaten by fox, fox will be dead within 5yds of where egg
was placed.

In my own case,samples were taken from toenails to lumber-puncture,blood
,hair skin etc. These samples were sent to a Sheffield lab.After several
days I was quizzed
extensively about my contact with organophosphate, the
specialist from the lab raised the question not myself, why?

The following week I was asked to list all chemicals/poisons I had had
contact with in the workplace, this I found impossible....40+yrs...could
you?

Are you sure you have no trace of agri chemical in your
body waiting for a "trigger".......are you sure....really sure??
