Hi there.
Seems to be alot of discussion on the halon dry chem, used in fire
extinguishers.
My unfortunate luck would put me in fornt of an emergency self pull trigger.
It actually is used in the engine compartment where if you have a fire break
out, it is able to self extinguish the area without the human pulling out the
pin. Usu. takes a high temp to do this though.
Back to my bad luck story. I was building luxury, or not, big boats, in
Roseburg, Oregon. Soecifically...Bayliner Marine, of Brunswick, COrp.
LOLOLOL!! I was within no more than 1.5-2" away form the damn thing and
IT WENT OFF!! Yep right into the mouth of mine. Nicely done! Oh this may
have been about 5 yrs ago, but YES still having alot of bronchial porblems
that are too gross to explain. I screamed when it blew, and tried like heck
to cover my mouth and eyes, was wearing a solid silver ring that completely
disappeared like into thin air form the extreme freeeze it put out. I
suffered a major coughing attack and was rushed to Mercy Med Emerg, whrere of
course, just like Bayliner, had no idea about an MSDS sheet or who/what halon
even was!! That's seriously retarded! I cannot figure out later why I got a
write-up when I was no where near the damn thing with another body part,
other than my mouth, and it wasn't like I was sucking on the trigger, or even
would consider doing this retarded act to sponge off the ill-skilled workers
comp insurance!!
Even though this was an accident I am still left without any type of
compensation. I am not a gold digger but dang! I read several different
entries here of the halon comments and stories. They sure did help ease some
of my hysteria for the moment. I know it just sits in the black bottom of
whatever it got into, but think about your lung capacity for a moment. OK
then, what is the trade off where it is sitting... how much of my lungs
really have their true function if they are simply buried in an unknown amout
of halon??
Follow me??
I am certainly concerned for my longevity (life).
ANY SERIOUS HELPFUL HINTS OR TIPS?? I AM KINDA POOP OUT OF LUCK IN EVERY
SINGLE SITE I HAVE POSTED MY QUESTION.

I GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATE EVERY BIT OF HELP I CAN MUSTER, BECAUSE EVERYWHERE
I'VE TURNED HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT A DROP OF INFO, NOT TO MENTION THE WILD GOOSE
CHASE THEY SENT ME ON...

VERY ANXIOUS,
ANGIE BENEDICT


THANKS AGAIN!
