Yushchenko was poisoned by dioxin.

"Mr Yushchenko's blood and tissue registered concentrations of dioxin 1,000 times above normal levels." BBC

And there's people still saying that Yushchenko's poisoning and the other stuff during the campaign are just a myth. (Or, better yet, that he's the 'bad guy' in the whole affair, and Yanukovych is the poor oppressed democratic fellow..)

What I found startling was that it apparently took his doctors three months to figure this out. The moment the photos started hitting the western media, I saw toxocologists and even plain bloggers going 'cloracne. diagnostic of dioxin poisoning, nothing else looks quite like that.'

They're gonna give Karl Rove ideas. Democrats looking to run in 2008 should closely examine where their food and drink comes from.

Dioxin! Chloracne! Wow! I hadn't heard of that since Plant Phys! ^_^ I always found it strange that dioxins are so deadly to so many critters but only gives people really bad acne. Well, now I know what chloracne looks like. 8-]
