Hello Bruce,

As strange as it may seem I have never been wise enough to be tested for AO...even though I KNOW I was exposed to the "Chemlawn" boys.

Thanks for your post, I will be certain to get tested ASAP.

My best to you & yours,

Dick Tracy

The Agent Orange Screening examination is a comprehensive medical examination, conducted by a VA Environmental Physician. These exams are quite thorough and all I have reviewed have been excellent. I have not only reviewed those on this VA station, but many from all over the Midwest and Eastern United States.
Do not let the opportunity pass you by. These exams currently are at no cost to the veteran regardless of Priority Group status.

Anyone exposed to AO is eligible to receive an no-charge AO examination. It is extremely important to be checked out. There are many latent disorders which make show up if you don't get an exam!

Excellent question. Just call your closest VAMC and tell them you need an Agent Orange screening examination. Advise them you have conditions you believe are related to herbicide exposure.
Please review the Agent Orange information on my website first.
