What do our school janitors use to clean bathrooms?

 
Dale S: 

I have been researching glycol ether poisoning because I have been sick for about 10 months showing that I have a platelet dysfunction.  I began by having severe bruising and knots come up under my skin and my bruises would bleed out under the skin.  My hemoglobin dropped after several months and I ended up having a blood transfusion when the hemoglobin got to 7.0.  It has not dropped anymore since then but the bruising, along with fatigue, hematomas, eye vessels bursting, rapid heart beat and anxiety from it all has remained.  I started researching once the doctor told me that my condition had to be acquired and I decided to research the chemicals that I was using (until recently) where I clean at night on a part time basis.  The cleaner that I was using contains glycol ether (2-butoxyethanol).  Of course, I use this on 18 bathrooms three times a week in a bathroom stall (confined space) and at first I didn't use any gloves when I cleaned, not until I worried that I may be catching something from all the children that go to the Church School I started wearing gloves.  I will know sometimes in August if my platelets have changed any to determine if it could have been this chemical.  I will probably need assistance with getting worker's comp to pay for all my pain, suffering, loss of income on my first job, and medical expenses because of this possible exposure.  If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them

Do you have blood in urine?
Do you have anything going on with the red blood cells that is autoimmune?
ask the lab tech to LOOK at the red blood cells
The research on 2-butoxyethanol says it causes hemolytic anemia  *
Check kidneys and Liver, too
and maybe do manual instead of computer tests
Red blood cells could be on the immature side with fragility of membranes
Check for leukemia ... for NHL
 

Why I didn't buy Citrus Clean last month  *

Why a chemical in cleaning products can hurt us & those we love
What is your temperature?  Your blood pressure?  Your blood sugar?
(Affected by 2-butoxyethanol too)  *
Do you have this odd assortment of FATIGUE clues  *
and CNS affects? ... such as those with CFS, FM, CFIDS have?
Some things I shared with Don  *
I have no medical background;
however I recognize this chemical's effects ...
and I suspect the main problem is an autoimmune issue
Check into glyconutrient food supplements
Many pages on the internet
Theory is that if you give your body what it needs to function properly:
good nutrition & glyconutrient food supplements,
your body will heal itself
AVOID 2-butoxyethanol, too
My thoughts on glyconutrients:  *
Many cleaning products that are said to be safe, ARE NOT  *
What cleaning product did you use in the bathrooms?
Worst exposure is vapors in eyes
& at the cuticle areas
Children could be at risk,
if bathrooms are not well ventilated after cleaning
(2-butoxyethanol is a teratogen chemical - affects our children born later)
I think it is a chemical that is very common not only at home,
but most especially in every war era of this past century to the present
Exposure looks like 'the flu'  *  *
& lesser exposure looks like 'the sniffles,' flatulence, diarrhea ...
It is the autoimmune causing chemical, the tumor causing chemical
Civilians call it CFS, FM Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
Very easy for anyone to be directly exposed today
I notice the pattern of this chemical in the life (& early death) of Pres FDR *
