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.

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.
