What Are The Side Effects Of Dioxin Exposure?
I have been exposed to dioxin daily for a year in 1970 to 1971 from agent orange. 1997 to 2000, problems started. Now 62, 5'10", 260lbs and have hypertension, hypothyroid from Graves treatment, Diabetes Mellitus type2, sinusitis, headaches, apnea, skin rash. I have info from board certified doctors that agent orange (dioxin) can cause DM2, Hypertension and Graves. Does it really? Is this true and Could it also cause headaches , sinus problems and apnea?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no medicine could cause the diabetes and thyroid disease because this is endocrine system dysfunction and not due to any drugs neither such drug could cause any sinusitis the reason for that all could be something else, hope this information helps.
