Dangers Noted


It is widely believed tina I

DOT and suffered no immediate

certainly be innocent of harm.
This understandable misconcep-
ton arises from the fact that
= unlike other chlorinated n.y.
drocarbons - DOT in powder
form is not readily absorbed
into the skin. Dissolved in oil,
as it usually is. DOT is def
initely toxic. If swallowed, it is
absorbed slowly through the di-
geStjve tract; 1t may also be
absorbed through the lungs.
Once it has entered the body
1t is stored largely in organs
rich in fatty substances (be-
cause DOT itself is fat-soluble)
such as the adrenals, testes, or
thyroid. Relatively large
amounts are deposited in the
liver. kidneys. and the fat Of
the large, protective mesenteries
that enfold the intestines. This
storage of DOT begins with the
smallest conceivable intake of
the chemical (Which is present
as residues on most foodstuffs)
and continues until quite high
levels are reached.
The fatty storage depots act
as biological magnifiers, so that
an intake Of as little as lilo
of / part per million in the
diet results in storage of about
10 to is parts per million. an
increase of one hundredfold or
more. These terms Of refer

Friends Advice
May Be Fatal

necessary when we consider
the needless tragedy of this
young mother. I call such
well-meant advice the good
neighbor policy. But nothing
in life is so fraught with po-
tential danger as taking such
advice.
In most cases 1t turns out
cheaper when you spend your
money for correct diagnosis
and stop tinkering with your
machine. Cheaper in terms of
health, life and money.
Ask the average man to
build a bridge and he will
think you are demented. I'm
not an engineer" he will pro-
test.
Ask him to fly a plane and
his reaction will be the same:
do you think I'm crazy?
I've never had my hands on
the controls"
But ask him sometime what
to do for your headache or
indigestion and he will come
up with a number of fancy
suggestions. At once his
manner changes. He assumes
an attitude of the oracle. His
words of advice pour out and
they have all the conviction
of the most learned medical
specialist.
Mind you, now, I am not
picking on well meaning
neighbors whose only desire
is to help. I am picking on
you and you and you who
are ready to place your
health and life in jeopardy
by your willingness to take
such advice.

the most poisonous chemicals
in the world. Parathion is one
of the most widely used of the
organic phosphates. 1t is also
one of the most powerful and
dangerous. The danger to all

extreme that some States us

Malathion, another of the or

ground, for it depends entirely
on the ability of the liver to

certain other chemicals. The

but here is one that has me
stumped. A girl (my age) is
madly in love with my broth

stand her. This girl tells me
she can't eat or sleep for
thinking about him. She says
he's not good-looking, is con-
ceited and treats her like
dirt, but she is an emotional
wreck over him. I told her
she might as well forget him,
but she says she can't. If she
knew how my brother really
felt about her she would die.
How can I help this girl?

Your advice was exactly
what mine would have been.
To give her false hope would

her attention elsewhere be-
cause your brother likes her

Dear Pete: I hope you will
forgive the informal address,
but I know you will when
you look down the page and
learn who this letter is from.
Yes, it's I, an old medical
school chum.
Over the years you have
stressed the dangers of TAX

miss, advice from neighbors
rather than sensible medical
information.
Last week I saw a young
woman (she has a fine hus-
band and three lovely chill

Ger which is now inoperable.
For the past precious nine
months she has been using
some remedy a neighbor con-
cocted which was "guaran-
teed" to make her well. If
she had come earlier for
medical attention we could
have saved her without any
doubt.
I keep wondering what
might have happened If she
were a regular reader of your
column: she might not be
doomed If you could have
impressed her-as you often
do in your work-of the dan
gers Of self-treatment and
taking neighborly advice.
I'm roofing for you, as al
ways, and you can continue
to count on me as one of
your steady readers. 1 may
be a doctor, but I don't know
1t all. Besides, the common
sense you hand out is unus-
ually good nourishment for
doctor and patient alike.

liable work. You'll pardon me,

Should we give him the
money?

boy who has long curls hang

it is a pity to see how the
other children tease that boy.
Even adults look at him
twice and wonder whether he
is a boy or a girl. The wom-
an is either divorced, desert

is never a husband around.
Some of the neighbors say
it's none of our business, but
I think it is. Am I wrong to

thetic insecticides. In being
man made-by ingenious lab
oratory manipulation of the
molecules, substituting atoms,
altering their arrangement
they differ sharply from the
simpler inorganic insecticides
Of prewar days. These were de-
rived from naturally occurring
minerals and plant products
compounds Of arsenic, copper,
lead, manganese, zinc and 9TH
er minerals, pyrethrum from
the dried flowers Of chrysan-
themums. nicotine sulphat tie
from some of the relatives of
tobacco and rotenone from le-
guminous plants Of the East
Indies.
What sets the new synthetic
insecticides apart Is their enor-
nous biological potency. They
have immense power not mere
ly to poison but to enter into
the most vital processes Of the
body and change them in SIM
ster and often deadly ways.
Thus, as we shall see, they de-
stroy the very engines whose
function is to protect the body
from harm, they block the oxi-
dalton processes from which
the body receives its energy
they prevent the normal func-
tioning of various organs, and
they may initiate in certain
cells the slow and irreversible
change that leads to malig-
nancy.
A Who's Who Of pesticides
Is therefore of concern to us
all. If we are going to live so
intimately with these chemicals
eating and drinking them,
taking them into the very mar
row Of our bones-we had bet
ter know something about their |
nature and their power.
DOT Is now so universally |

Of the familiar. Perhaps the
myth of the harmlessness of
DOT rests on the fact that one
of its first uses was the war

prisoners, to combat lice.

All these facts - storage at
even low levels, subsequent ac-
emulation, and occurrence of
liver damage at levels that may
easily occur in normal diets,
caused Food and Drug Admin

early as 1850 that it is Eek

zard of DOT has been under
estimated" There has been no
such. parallel situation in med
ical history. No one yet knows
what the ultimate consequences
may be.
Chlordane, another chlorin-
ated hydrocarbon, has all the
unpleasant attributes of DOT
plus q few that are peculiarly
its own. Its residues are long
persistent in soil, on foodstuffs,
or on surfaces to which it may
be applied. Its deposits build
up in the body in cumulative
fashion.
AS long ago as the mid-1830s
a special group of hydrocarbons
the chlorinated naphthalenes,
was found to cause hepatitis,
and also a rare and almost in
variably fatal liver disease in
persons subjected to occupa-
tional exposure. They have led
to illness and death of workers
in electrical industries; and
more recently, In agriculture
they have been considered q
cause ola mysterious and us
ually fatal disease of cattle.
In view of these antecedents,
it is not surprising that three
of the insecticides that belong
to this group are among the
most violently poisonous of all
the hydrocarbons. These are
dieldrin, aldrin, and endrin.
Endrin is the most toxic of
all the chlorinated hydrocar-
bons. In one of the most tragic
cases Of endrin poisoning there
was no apparent carelessness;
efforts had been made to take
apparently consid-
cred adequate. A year-old child
had been taken by his American
parents to live in Venezuela.
There were cockroaches in the
house to which they moved, and
