This lady has done extensive research on and about the effects of 2-B.
Please review her pages as there is much information on this chemical and others.

isn't hard in war time and with the stronger concentrations.)
There is one chemical, that with overexposure, causes all of these:

Also make note ... that this chemical is in widespread use today.
AVOID it at all costs
