Came across this study on another chemical, and other glycols, linked to bone marrow toxicity. It's abbreviated name is EGMME. When they examined co-workers of someone who had SAA, they found the peripheral blood levels of the co-workers to be OK but not the bone marrow. This was in the printing industry. More importantly, it just confirms there are many toxins people are exposed which cause harm in the long run.
John worked with lots of chemicals in his 20's and 30's. He always felt fine and never exhibited any health problems except that his CBC always showed him to be border line anemic to anemic from time to time, and low-normal platelets. He was told this must be normal for you. You have to wonder if his bone marrow was damaged back then but did not completely fail until he was 50 yrs old.
