Teflon Flu

Nickname given by employees to the effects felt after working in DuPont P.F.O.A. storage tanks. Medical conditions caused by PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), a product used in the manufacture of teflon by DuPont, include birth defects, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, pre-eclampsia, and ulcerative colitis. 70,000 people living near the plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia regularly drank water tainted with the chemical known to be poisonous by DuPont - facts covered up at local, city and state levels, including the Parkersburg EPA. If not for the tenacity of local farmer Wilbur Tennant and lawyer Robert Bilott the case would not have been exposed.

Fred came home from work sick again — fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting — after working in one of the PFOA storage tanks. It happens all the time at the DuPont plant. His wife says the men at the plant call it ‘‘Teflon Flu.’’ Don't worry about it, he'll be fine.
