There is limited direct evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange specifically with spinal disk degeneration. Agent Orange, a herbicide used during the Vietnam War, is primarily associated with various cancers and other health issues, particularly those related to the nervous and immune systems. However, some studies suggest that chemical exposure may contribute to broader musculoskeletal problems, which could indirectly affect spinal health. More research is needed to establish a clear connection between Agent Orange exposure and spinal disk degeneration.

There are a reported 650,000 Vietnamese that have confirmed exposure to dioxin and are showing health effects. Dioxin is highly carcinogenic and is easily passed from mother to child.
