Can Orange And Pesticide Exposure Be Harmful?

Hi, my question is on agent orange exposure and pesticides while stationed in Vietnam between 1969 - 1972, whether it can be reactive today in the human body, and what if medical doctors have overlooked signs and symptoms, or misdiagnosed conditions? where do you go for help?

hi, pesticides do have long term effects, but the exposure time should be much longer. A single exposure some time ago is unlikely to produce chronic symptoms. long term exposure can result in various deleterious effects on nerves, brain and kidneys.
