Hey Medicineman,
Good to see that after that TAT you are still alive (AHAHAHAHAHA), if people got dust in the lung, its defenetly us.
Good to see that we agree on "That Kabul Bug". Due to limited ressources we had on the TAT, hygene had a lot to do with it. Washing, Washing and washing hands, that was the secret. I'm sure that with all that alcool stuff i put on my hands, it removed the TAN (AHAHAHA).
As for the dust, we had those truck, bulldozer driving around 24/7 and moving shit, sand and rocks. So if dust would have been a problem. You and me would be quite sick by now, if not dead. (I had a Heart Attack a Month Ago, but that about it, AHAHAHA). The TAT pers lived in constant and intense dust because of the construction of the camp.
As for the other camps, there are multiples reason why we build away from them and that the canadian annex at KMNB was seperate, Hygiene standard was defenetivly one of them. Standard were not at canadian levels, so that is maybe why other contingent where so sick and not us. You had to see those place to believe it. Exept for the British Camp, i would not have want to live on any of those camp for a long period of time.
Also, If i remember good, we could see one guy walking around the camp with some strange equipment on is back a fiew time per days taking air samples. Also some of the devices were build up in the Wire fence. So i think the medic or WOOFETECH staff did all the test they could do and made sure we were as safe as possible.
As for the German report, I saw there camp, and there was a lot more there then dust to make them sick. There own shit, POL depot and garbage would have been one. And we wont talk about there mess hall (Kitchen).
Have fun
