Default halon- full inhalation

YES! I suffer now from serious lung phlem,choking me out sometimes. I
appologize for the lack of urgency on my part of not replying to you more
quickly.I still am not sure about the long term effects of my inhalation, but
I will say this, I sure never suffered from what I have to deal with now!
Bayliner Marine here in Roseburg, Oregon is where I was working when this
happened, and they aren't and still haven't, helped me out AT ALL with any of
this. No info or med or anything! I have a huge amount of links though, that
you might find usefull, as did I. That's how I ended here with all you very
helpful and real people.
In fact if you do want them leet me know and I will email them to you. But
they are all on HALON. Thank You, by he way for your contacting me on this.
I still don't really know alot about HALON gas. I still can't get any info
from the sites that handle this kind of stuff. Really. They don't even know
about it some of the times I contact them. Funny HuH? Well I will check my
email more often and try to get back to you more quickly. Thanks so much for
your question. Did you suffer any long term effects from the propane?
Normally the two are never combined, as far as I've learned, but the HALON is
in it's own class of gases I guess.
Oh yeah, by the way, propane is very apt to do that, what it did to you.
Very common, heard of a guy that lost his entire hand due to a release of
propane from filling a tank. Scary.
talk later. Angie B.

Did you have any injuries from the freezing gas? I once made the
mistake of touching the side of a propane tank that was cryogenically
cold. It was an ordinary barbeque cylinder, but I was burning the gas
off at a very high rate through the 'ole Cajun Crawfish Cooker. Well,
before you could say doubble-dog dare, my right hand froze to the side
of the tank. The result: 2nd degree "burns", abscence of fingerprints
for 4 months (scars are smooth), and lingering nerve damage. Some days
it pays to be left-handed.
