"A doctor at Saturday's news conference said the changes in Yushchenko's face will remain for a long time. More treatment will be needed to determine whether his face can be restored to the way it had looked."

He wasn't a bad looking fellow before, but now he looks like he's 90 years old. Kinda looks like a low budget horror flick, where the makeup guy just uses oatmeal or something to make your face look messed up.

Whatever and however it happened to him, I feel bad for the guy. But damn, I don't want to look at him any longer than I have to.

OK, maybe NOT anyone else's picture. I would hope that CNN would use some judgement and stay far away from Miss Hershey Squirt Fountain herself, the one and only Tub Girl. ;)

Dioxin - a contaminant found in Agent Orange - is a byproduct of industrial processes such as waste incineration and chemical and pesticide manufacturing.

Dioxin is a general term that describes a group of hundreds of chemicals that are highly persistent in the environment. The most toxic compound is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or TCDD. The toxicity of other dioxins and chemicals like PCBs that act like dioxin are measured in relation to TCDD. Dioxin is formed as an unintentional by-product of many industrial processes involving chlorine such as waste incineration, chemical and pesticide manufacturing and pulp and paper bleaching. Dioxin was the primary toxic component of Agent Orange, was found at Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY and was the basis for evacuations at Times Beach, MO and Seveso, Italy.
