Was agent orange used in Fort Polk LA in 1967?

DURING WARTIME, AGENT ORANGE was widly used as a defoliant in jungle or heavily forested areas. The whole area was sprayed, killing all of the trees leaves and foliage, making it eaiser for us to see the enemy. HOWEVER: You didn't have to be right there to be exposed to it. I know people who were in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. They were exposed to agent orange in the process of making it,packaging it, storing it, loading it,shipping it, dispersing it and many other possible ways. So to answer your question: yes it is possible to have been exposed to agent orange at various bases and installations.(NOT in particular Ft. Lewis, but in general).


How is agent orange linked to atrial fibrillation?

Agent Orange, a herbicide used during the Vietnam War, has been linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular conditions. Studies suggest that exposure to Agent Orange may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. This link is thought to be due to the toxic effects of dioxins and other chemicals in Agent Orange, which can lead to inflammation and damage to the cardiovascular system. Veterans exposed to Agent Orange may therefore experience a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation compared to those who were not exposed.
