There is no doubt that breathing in those acrid vapors is dangerous, yet the “foci” are only a small fraction of the toxin exposures our military faces. This incorrect information makes it difficult to verbally exchange about poison exposure and, worse, confuses those who have informed about their possible exposures and the risks related to physical fitness. Here’s the reality:
Chimneys are the exclusive source of exposure to the poisonous army. Inhalation exposures are the only direction of exposure. Deployment to a combat zone is a prerequisite for exposure to toxins.
During his career in the military, regardless of the time, rank, or specificity of the job, a soldier will inevitably suffer multiple exposures to various poisonous ingredients (fuel, chemicals, exhaust gases, ammunition, explosives, etc. ), and those exposures have an effect. an effect on the human body in a multifactorial way. Specificity and volume are dictated through the military’s specialty and service time, however, the framework of army workers will eventually be exposed to toxins, whether they are turning keys in a motor pool or knocking down doors in a combat zone The threat of exposure is inherent in military service and is accepted as a component of the culture of perseverance and ( (c) The standardization of this practice is essential for the optimal well-being and longevity of the Army’s fitness.
Understanding the root cause of any challenge is the first step in creating a practical and workable solution, but when the root cause is misidentified or assumed, it prevents other people from making informed decisions about their physical care. Attention to other prevalent reasons is intentional blindness, and this type of tunnel vision has no place in medicine. Believing that “burns” are the sole cause of exposure-related ailments is an impediment to the fitness of combatants.
If we continue on this path, we will eventually be left behind, as when fitness professionals diagnosed head injuries (CBT) as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies of post-September 11 veterans found that 59% met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD through PCL-5 self-assessment. However, after a structured clinical interview, only 3% of veteran patients actually suffered from post-traumatic stress. The researchers found that many CBT patients did not meet the incorrectly approved PTSD commands and symptoms questionnaire due to their cognitive difficulties similar to a traumatic brain injury. There is rarely a general remedy or miracle medication for any disease, so administering the wrong one has counterproductive effects on fitness and recovery.
The HunterSeven Foundation, a nonprofit focused on studies and education about exposure to military toxics, recently conducted a clinic of more than 3,000 respondents who had deployed to Afghanistan at least once between 2001 and 2018.
However, this review reflects only known exposures; many know that they have been exposed to toxins outside the base. Consider the poor air quality, small particles, and infected water resources to which the military has been exposed in the austere environments of Afghanistan and Iraq. of an environmental nature and cause serious physical fitness problems.
Suppose a member complains of serious headaches that worsen and loss of vision. In this case, the immediate speculation is “foci of combustion”, without investigating other poisonous exposures that they have suffered in their career. This generalization seems to come from an incomplete media policy of poison exposures. But what’s worse, a general absence or an inadequate policy?The concentrate in the combustion pits provided a false plateau and encouraged tunnel vision in combat against poisonous exposure.
The situations related to cancer have been the subject of a large press following the law that was to leave the first responders of September 11 without attention. Care was well-deserved and mandatory for an express group, but it also established a myopic correlation that service members were Burn outbreaks are presumed to be to blame rather than repeated brain injuries due to exposure to explosions or any other series of injuries or exposures sustained by army personnel. This speculation can be devastating to the individual as it can obstruct the correct diagnosis. and preventive treatment.
Conclusion: The discussion on poison exposure will need to be evidence-based, relevant, solution-oriented and preventive. Recalibrating the verbal exchange to be proactive and careful is imperative to help veterans perceive their health.
When headlines say “Burnt wells are agent Orange for post-September 11 veterans” or “Burnt wells make other people sick,” it creates a sense of false closure and despair. , the message is, “This is how we will live and die, and there is nothing to do. “
Very important information to replace will definitely have to be backed up by evidence-based facts, medically sound research, and a proactive tone. This lately is not done in the media and communications similar to poisonous exposures, vilifying the issue of poisonous exposures.
Changing the verbal ex-replace around poisonous exposures is a large-scale effort, as this topic is overshadowed by the repetitive discussion about chimneys, reimbursement, and legislation. The fact is that THE VA reimbursement will save veterans’ lives; perceive exposure to poisons and advocate for preventive practices and treatments. Awareness and schooling are driving replacement and transformation in the debate about poison exposures and ultimately necessary fitness and medical care.
