Toxicology: Chemicals Behind Gulf War Syndrome?

Ever since the Gulf War ended 5 years ago, there have been disputes about what—if anything—caused the mysterious collection of symptoms, more commonly known as Gulf War Syndrome, reported by some of the war9s veterans. Recent toxicological studies in chickens suggest that they may be the result of neurological damage, caused by two or more of the insecticide and anti-nerve gas chemicals used in the war acting together. Much more work will be needed to confirm that idea, however.
