I am ___________. I work for the Champaign School District
driving a school bus. On April 17, 2002 I was exposed along with about 40
children a residential drift application of Cygon pesticide being sprayed on a
30mph day. Myself and two children were taken to the hospital as a result of
this exposure. My symptoms were eyes bruning, face redden, nasal hard breathing,
later, dry heaving, etc.
About 4 and ½ months later I became sick and tired. Real
tired. My legs were swelling up. I went to the doctor and after many tests and a
specialist I was diagnosied with secondary adrenal failure (low cortisone). I am
told that I will be taking steroids for the rest of my life.
My question is that is there anyone or anyplace that has
done research on organophostates like dimethoate (Cygon)? Do you know who I
could ask about this as I think it is not a rare coincidence that I came down
with this rare life threatening disease out of the blue. Can you help me?
