Anemia is SERIOUS if it is the anemia that glycol ether with BUTYL causes

Anemia? Not considered that serious . . . people think

But it is ...if it is the ANEMIA that Glycol BUTYL Ether * causes

You can't just get some iron * and think that the blood forming organs will process it

and all is well

Check for autoimmune action on the kidneys * ... liver * ... *

The kidneys produce hormones that help build strong bones and help form red blood cells.

The kidney contains scattered cells that secrete erythropoietin,

a hormone essential for production of red blood cells.

"Anemia of prematurity occurs in premature infants at 2 to 6 weeks of age and results from diminished erythropoietin response to declining hematocrit levels. ... low serum levels of erythropoietin (EPO) Erythropoietin, or its alternative erythropoetin or EPO, is a glycoprotein hormone that controls erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. It is a cytokine for erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow. Also called hematopoietin or hemopoietin, it is produced by the kidney, and is the hormone that regulates red blood cell production. It also has other known biological functions. For example, erythropoietin plays an important role in the brain's response to neuronal injury.^[1] EPO is also involved in the wound healing process"

Look at the Red Blood Cells - Find the Anemia *

"The red blood cells become round-like, rather than hourglass shaped (an exaggeration of configuration. The change in shape is caused from the outer membrane becoming weakened, losing its ability to hold its elasticity."

16. Other MSDS Information on 2-butoxyethanol

NFPA Ratings: Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
Label Hazard Warning:

DANGER! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, LIVER & LYMPHOID SYSTEM. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID & VAPOR. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

Says the EPA / CA joint janitorial study:
"Glycol alkyl ethers are commonly used as solvents. 2-Butoxy Ethanol is one of the most toxic of the glycol ethers. You should use products containing butoxyethanol with extreme care. It is a poison that can easily absorb through your skin to harm you. When working with it, always wear gloves and goggles and be sure the you have enough ventilation." More probably exposure is vapors in one's eyes ... but NOT ingestion as is suspected by some MSDSs

Suspect a host of autoimmune issues

Exposure looks like the flu ... flatulence with diarrhea ... sometimes a cough ... 'the sniffles'

Clues to anemia: 'the chills' rapid heart beat, gasping for breath ... pale *

PLUS depression, headaches, short term memory loss... personality changes ... suicidal tendencies

Medical Surveillance: check

Consider the points of attack (liver, kidneys, lymphoid system, skin, blood, eyes, respiratory system) in placement and periodic physical examinations.

2-Butoxyethanol causes acute hemolytic anemia in rats

In F344 male rats, 2-butoxyethanol causes severe acute hemolytic anemia resulting in significant increase in the concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. Secondary to the hemolytic effects, 2-butoxyethanol also caused hemoglobinuria as well as histopathologic changes in the liver and kidney.

*Notes to Physician: Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat acidosis.

Monitor kidney and liver function and arterial blood gases closely.

Protect Yourself From Future Harm - Learn what Products YOU use that contain it

Check for what products contain 2-butoxyethanol such as
(CAS Registry Number: 000111-76-2)
in the Household Products Data Base
http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/ingredients.htm

5% concentration is not safe for home use, per one expert in product development.

Also check for the complex version Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether or 2-2-butoxyethanol

(CAS Registry Number: 000112-34-5)

EPA has studied Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether *

Another cause of very high white blood cell counts is this particular anemia 'side effect'
VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS * *

LEUKEMOID REACTION

Classically, in IMHA the stimulation of the bone marrow is so strong that even the white blood cells lines (which have very little to do with this disease but which also are born and incubate in the bone marrow along side the red blood cells) are stimulated.

This leads to white blood cell counts that are spectacularly high.
