Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Accoding to 's research, you have an anticholinergic (likely to be an organophosphate then in Nariden) plus a powerful pyrethroid in cypermethrin. Dr. Abou Donia's research on Gulf War Syndrome noted that the combinations of chemicals penetrates the blood brain barrier causing considerable damage (that is what happened to me apparently). GW vets had DEET plus permethrin exposures. Do a search at the ATSDR site - I tried at Panna.org with no luck so spelling may be an issue. Your lawyers must hire a toxicologist to review all this. Nothing we put together will be sufficient but there is literature there. Organophosphates have a RICH literature on the neurological effects of cholinesterase inhibiting pesticides. They were the first set of pesticides to be reveiwed by the EPA based upon the provisions of the Food Quality Protection act resulting in cancellations of such hugely profitable materials like Dursban and anon. Dr. Narahashi in Chicago (Northwestern?) has animal studies of pyrethroid disruption of nerve cell transmission (hyperexcitability by a different mechanism that the OPs). Dr. Abou-Donia (Duke U) studied mixtures of chems in animals finding penetration of BBB. Give your lawyers the name of Dr. Lipsey, Dr. Simon, Dr. Ray Singer etc. so they can get professional and court admissable evidence on these matters.
