Dave:

Yeah, an explosion that scattered stuff all over the place. The population of that town has been investigated six ways from Sunday pretty much ever since but, so far as I am aware, no long-term effects have been found.

Quite a few of our military people have claimed exposure to Agent Orange when it was sprayed and have since claimed all sorts of peculiar effects, none of which has been found to have an exposure to TCDD as a cause. Nevertheless, I think that those claiming effects have been followed and treated as if Agent Orange was at fault. One of the problems with "all sorts of peculiar effects" is that isn't the way such things work. If TCDD causes chloracne in one person, then that is what one expects in the next--not ingrown toenails or something different. The armed forces people were claiming about two dozen or more different effects that didn't include chloracne.
