Hey #emergencymedicine #toxicology peeps! Anyone in PDX interested in a fun experiment being run right now might consider doing a study of heavy metal levels in the blood of people gassed by ICE during recent and upcoming marches. We know many gas grenades have heavy metals in them, so there may be a publishable public health concern here. Just a thought after recent events…

Call For A Toxicology Study - Portland Chemical Gas Attacks
Trying to help call attention to this matter of public interest.
Many people, including young children, in Portland have received very heavy chemical gas exposure over the last few days. There are reports of symptoms including respiratory distress and disorientation.
McNadoMD (see below) is putting out the call for medical toxicology experts to assist with analysis and identification in this public health matter.

A public health priority. Feels just like Putin’s Ruzzia - using war-banned munitions on civilian populations including children. ☹️

This story about the causes of Parkinson’s is a microcosm of how lifestyle and environment are way more predictive of disease and mortality than #genetics.
