A member asked:

Can a father give their children agent orange if they were exposed to it in the late 60s from vietnam.

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

agent orange: Exposure to agent orange can cause a whole host of problems. I don't see how someone who was exposed in the 1960's could possibly endanger someone else now.

Agent Orange: A father can not pass "Agent Orange" on. However > "The US Department of Veterans Affairs' subsequent provision of disability compensation for spina bifida-affected children marked the US government's first official acknowledgement of a link between Agent Orange and birth defects. By 2017, spina bifida and related neural tube defects were the only birth defects associated with Agent Orange."
