CASE HISTORIES -~

(1) Joseph H. Holmes, M.D. Head of the division of Renal diseases,
University of Colorado, summarized for a congressional committee,
his observations, after treating more than. 1000 cages of individuals
exposed to DIAZINON. All showed damaging (plow reactiona to stimuli)
~reduction of blood acetylcholinesterase activity. (Jallion 1966)

According to Dr. Holmes there is a definite change in blood
coagulation following exposure to DIAZINON. At first, for three
oz four days, the blood clots much more rapidly than normal.
After the fourth day, the blood takes an abnormally long time t+o-
Glot. (normal blood coagulation time is two to three minutes. )

Two people have developed coronary heart ‘attacks Decause of increased
coagulation time following exposure. (Jallion 1966)

In 1971 Nomba Jateuji reported on 25 cases of human illnesses

caused by DIAZINON. The symptoms he observed included electreencephal-
ographic changes in the brain, nervousness, fatigue, lethargy, menory
impairment, Confusion, decreased mental concentration, increased
emotional instability (abnormally rapid mood changes from one

extreme to the other e.g. happy to depressed), muscle aches and pains,
cramps, numbness and weakness of limbs, Depression, Schizophrenia,
headache, increased urinary excretion of urobllinagen, Bronchial
asthma, contact dermatitis, ulcerative stomatitis, (inflamation of
the mouth) -~Hypercoagulability with shortened prothrombin (a factor
in plasma that takes part in the blood clotting process) time. ~

Also observed~-Increased prothrombin consumption and increased factor
VII and hypercoagulability with prolonged prothrombin time and
decreased factor VII (Jatsuji 1971)

There are many more than the cases noted above...and all other pesticides
and herbicides have similar or worse effects on the human body.

The composition of DIAZINON (Basudin) is as follows:

0, O~ diethyl - 0 ~ (2 isopropyl - h- Methyl - 6- pyrimidinal )
phosphorothioate.
