christ..dioxin...man
agent orange broke down into dioxin (I believe it also had similiar effects on people to dioxin)
one way to tell a vietnam vet that was in contact with that shit alot was that they would have terrible cists and scarring all over their face, except for around their eyes. Those were the old goggle marks...
It's not deadly but in this case it seems that was not the objective. I believe they wanted to make the opposition oponent appear weak, and question his health. Dioxin was probably used because nobody would suspect a herbacide to come in contact with him. Probably the old Agent Orange stories are what prompted the test for dioxin in the first place. Killing him would have been suspicious and may have given the opposition a big sympathy vote.
