This is also called Agent Orange and was used to defoliate trees in Vietnam to
make the enemy easier to find. Agent orange is a combination of 2 herbicides,
not insecticides. 2,4,D is still in use. 2,4,5,T is ban and causes birth
defects in children. 2,4,5 T contains 2,3,7,8 dioxin - a contaminate made
during the manufacturing process - that is very dangerous.
