Basically, it was a chemical herbicide that they sprayed to kill plants and destroy agriculture. It was sprayed all over during Vietnam as a war tactic to kill the enemies food sources. It was highly toxic and causes cancer and can impact genes so that people's kids could have birth defects. A lot of veterans were exposed to it and it caused permanent illness. My dad became allergic to everything in his 30s. Can't go to department stores because clothing dyes make him sick. Can't go to funerals bc/he's allergic to embalming chemicals. Perfumes, etc. make him sick. Drs. said it was due to that. He also has Leukemia and problems with his nerves from exposure.
