Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Health problems in Persian Gulf War veterans higher due to chemical exposure Science and technology news A study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine shows there is increasing evidence that high rates of illness in Persian Gulf War Veterans can be explained, in part, by exposure to certain chemicals, including pesticides and nerve agents. Veterans from the 1990-91 conflict have a higher rate of chronic, multi- symptom health problems than either non-deployed personnel or those deployed elsewhere. Symptoms routinely reported by these veterans include fatigue, muscle or joint pain, memory problems, trouble sleeping, rash and breathing problems. http://www.physorg.com/news124389002.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Kim, There was also a great show on either the History channel or Discovery channel about this recently. This is very real and many will go un treated. I am certain we will also hear of very simular things from the current war indeed in the future. Stories are already leaking out.
