I'm 2nd generation agent orange exposure individual. my father was exposed in vietnam. is there a test that shows your body was affected by ao exposur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Agent Orange: No. The Agent Orange (a herbicide/dioxin) could theoretically cause genetic damage in humans. However, there is no specific 'test' as such that ties a given genetic abnormality to your father's exposure.
