November 16, 2009 – In early November, the Department of Veterans Affairs acknowledged three more diseases as li
ked to Agent Orange exposure. B cell leukemias (like hairy cell leukemia), Parkinson’s disease and ischemic heart disease are now officially recognized by VA as connected to Agent Orange – the herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.

Since the 1980s, the controversial defoliant has been associated with a number of diseases and afflictions. VA formally acknowledges a list of them. It’s i
portant that Vietnam veterans become familiar and stay up-to-date with this list, as studies are still ongoing into the affects of Agent Orange.

e transient peripheral neuropathy
•AL amyloidosis
•Chloracne
•Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
•Diabetes mellitus (Type 2)
