bw ifrared processing

Help! I took 100 (aprox. $1000,00.00)rolls of Kodak bw infrared 35mm to Africa and after exposing 8 rolls suspected that the lack of electricity (hence refrigeration) and overabundance of heat,was going to heat fog my film. Upon returrning I developed it as usual, 11 minutes straight D-76 68 degrees. it was fogged. Kodak then suggested adding 3 grams benzotrialazole per liter of D-76 to compensate for the fogging. Result: the CLEAREST film I've ever seen, not even the word "Kodak" appeared. it was as if the benzotrialazole negated all developing capacity of the D-76. At this point my remaining film is about worthless, so I can't really do anymore damage.The moral of the story is if you're going to spend months in Africa with no fresh water or electricity, shoot T-Max! Please any ideas as to how to save my film and sanity would be gratefully appreciated. I am even willing to try voodoo and incantations1
