There is a reason you haven't found a neurologist to testify in court
about dioxin and epilepsy....because there is no scientific evidence to
support such a link. Dioxins are one of the most commonly studied
groups of toxicants in the field of toxicology. I believe that dioxins
can be found in most human populations. Just because he was exposed and
he still has the compound in his body does not mean it CAUSED his
epilepsy. The fact he was exposed to the compound at work is a different
point. It is known to cause health problems and if the company was
negligent he may be entitled to compensation. If anybody is aware of any
data linking TCDD/dioxin to neurological disease, please respond.
Sorry for the news, but I would do some research on the compounds to
which he was exposed and what health effects they cause. He may be
unaware of these effects.
Sincerely,
