2. I've heard of some vets having porphyria

from exposure to pesticides, herbicides and agent orange. Sounds like it can be inherited or be caused by chemicals. I had Multiple Chemical Sensitivity from pesticides sprayed by the city of Albuquerque, and all the symptoms were wierd. Yrs ago I was in MSC support group and porphyria always came up in discussions. Many people pee in a cup and put their urine in the sun or under lights and if it turns certain colors it might indicate porphyria. People who have the disease, say the wierd pee color thing only happens when they are having an attack.
