OCD May Be Acquired from Camp Lejeune Toxins
Children who were living with parents at Camp Lejeune may have acquired OCD, from being poisoned by hazardous chemicals at that military base. OCD is obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is a chronic disorder where people have behavioral issues manifesting in obsessions, compulsions or urges to repeat behaviors over again in a short time frame. Some people who grew up on the military base of Camp Lejeune may have developed OCD as children, because of ingesting the poisoned water on that base.
ADHD is attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and it is a neurological developmental disorder that children and adults can develop in their lifetimes. The toxins at Camp Lejeune may have triggered ADHD in children, whereby they will need to manage the condition for the rest of their lives to be productive adults.
Studies show that PCE exposure in infants, can be responsible for the children developing:
- Cleft lip
- Cleft palate
- Spina bifida
- Visual dysfunction
- Vision acuity issues
- Contrast sensitivity issues
- Color discrimination issues in vision
