Would you believe Agent Orange? The VA seems to think so because I worked on the birds that sprayed it over Vietnam back in the late '60s. No one in my family had it and they all seemed to live to a ripe old age. Also, no one in the family has the other stuff I have, like highly active atherosclerosis and pituitary gland problems but the VA won't get around to connecting those problems with dioxin until after I kick the bucket.
