Just in case I can get more informations to know the importance of what started to wreak havoc on my health as a baby... I know for sure I was a baby with liver issues and said by doctors to have LOW metabolism.
I have a brother who was born after me with hepatitis, and by this time our mother was also diagnosed with a nodule from hyperthyroidism. She herself said she was never cold before her surgery.
My mother has just passed away from lymphoma, of a type said to mostly come from chemicals. In the 60's, my parents have been working in chemistry. I am the eldest and the only one to be born while my mother was still working.
I could get more informations from my father recently. He said he entered this lab not often and would try to hold his breath because of the strong smell. My mother was going in there all the time and opening the bells to check the results.
It was paper chromatography to analyse acids in ARN and ADN.
The solvents were heavy alcohols such as propyl, butyl, ehtyl, and the same with iso-
Can I conclude that :
- the only problem is that I am like the daughter of an "alcoholic" though my parents never ever got drunk?
- the stress of the heavy smell received all the focus, thus I was informed, but those products are not enough to explain liver and metabolism problems?
...and can even less explain my mother's lymphoma?
- there were surely some other chemicals I am not aware of, and more liable to cause health issues?
Many thanks to whoever knows enough about chemistry to say something.
I know techniques have changed since then...
