Agent Orange spraying - Can the consequences of this by an affected person be passed on to children or spouse?

I have heard that it is possible for a child or spouse to also face cancers caused by this spraying due to prolonged exposure for the spouse, and DNA for a child.

Yes, not all the effects are as graphic as those shown in this article but the damage can certainly be passed on.

Warning - Be aware that these photos are both graphic and very disturbing.

Hi,

this is qa very opne question - large groups of vets say it does and lot of goverment and NIH people say it doesn't

There are lots of credilbe websites with statistics supporting both sides.

You are going to have to research it more and make up your own mind.

I support the vets - they gave a lot and got the shaftw when they got back from a lot of people. (my uncle did 3 tours with the 3ed (USMC))

there is "something" with this - we have a lot of vets with Myeloma; probably caused by chemical exposure.
