I read it in Chapter 4 (Toxins) of the paper on biological warfare at

*http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1018.5/index.html

" **

Weaponization*

Production using contemporary fermentation methods similar to those of

brewing and antibiotic production is easy and inexpensive, and conventional

bioreactors can readily produce tons of these agents (Wannemacher and

Wiener, 1997). AD Little (1986, Ch. 4) described the conditions defining

production. The large-scale production of *Fusaria* and trichothecenes for

civil purposes in the former Soviet Union indicates the ease of large-scale

production for other purposes (Buck et al., 1983). Formulations of T-2--one

of the most potent trichothecenes--might also include polyethylene

glycol, sodium

lauryl sulfate, or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). These materials facilitate

dispersal and handling of the toxin, possibly enhancing toxicity.

Trichothecenes do not degrade to nontoxicity when exposed in the natural

environment (for weeks at least) and are stable when stored. They can be

delivered by mortars, artillery, free rockets, aerial bombs, and surface or

aerial sprayers (Wannemacher and Wiener, 1997). Iraq possessed all the

systems previously used to deliver trichothecenes.

T-2 is a skin-damaging agent of great potency (Bunner et al., 1985)--several

hundred times more potent than mustards or lewisite (Wannemacher and Wiener,

1997). It is able to injure the eye in microgram amounts, which again

indicates that it is more potent than mustards.

Toxicity by inhalation is comparable to mustards. NAS (1983) estimated that

LC50 exposures of aerosols of 1 mg/m3 or surface contamination or LD50 of

1 g/m2 could readily be attained.

Trichothecenes readily result in vomiting, rather promptly at low

concentrations, which might compromise the ability of exposed troops to use

protective respirators. Other symptoms, including mild incapacitation,

follow. Operationally, the persistence of trichothecenes makes them a threat

even to military forces with protective equipment; Soviet troops in

Afghanistan avoided operating in areas where these toxins were used (Fang,

1983). There are some indications that trichothecenes may have been used in

combination with other agents in Southeast Asia and Afghanistan (Fang, 1983;

Schultz, 1982). "

Just had to jump in here when I heard some discussion

of the chemicals in shampoos. Before I even knew I

was being poisoned from hidden mold in my wall

cavities, I was getting some kind of lesions on my

scalp that my hairdresser noticied. I thought I was

buying one of the better shampoos, what

a joke. She told me she had another client that had

the same reaction.

Then I started researching the chemicals in commonly

sold shampoos, and I was shocked. Yes, propylene

glycol is anti-freeze that is absorbed into the skin

and it is in almost all shampoos, except the natural

ones you find in health food stores, and now some

grocery stores. Workers in factories that work with

the stuff are required to wear masks and gloves by the

MDS data sheets.

Sodium laurel sulfate is in all of them too, and that

is basically an engine degreaser, also easily absorbed

into the skin. There is no FDA oversight on cosmetics

or personal products, and the FDA is probably corrupt

anyway...and nobody is going to stop the corporations

from their huge profits they get from making people

sick. I switched to natural products almost 7 years

ago, and my hair is thicker and I no longer have

rashes. Mold isn't the only coverup going on here.

There is a long road ahead unfortunately.

I have found that taking showers gives me much less ringing in my ears. I

let the water run for a while and rinse out my hair for at least five

nminutes before putting the shampoo in it. Then I don't have the problems. I

was also getting the lestions on my scalp and neck, etc. Its def. from the

mold, as I noticed that they went away when I was on trips, staying in

motels or at friends for any more than a week.

Hair is clearly a mold magnet..

BTW, a few weeks ago when I brought this issue up to my doctor, she thought

I was nuts, seriously nuts, but after some time (the Shoemaker time-series

paper helped a lot and I think she also noticed that my medical records are

filled with the exact same symptoms he describes in his book, all, up till

now, seemingky unrelated..) now I think she has - or is beginninbg to have,

the eureka moment that I had realizing that this is all connected.. and

scary..

Lets just leave it at that.. We have a choice here. We have to make the

right one and choose to fight this menace, even if its expensive.
