Low levels of sarin nerve gas affected behavior and organ functions in laboratory animals at least a month after exposure, suggests new research that may provide clues to the mysterious illnesses of Persian Gulf War veterans.

In separate Army-sponsored studies, scientists observed behavioral problems, brain changes and immune system suppression in the animals many days after exposure to doses that caused no immediate effects, such as convulsions or pupil constriction.

I know I have heard of formerly healthy strong young men in their twenties getting sick and dying after Gulf War service. I think there is a link. Mothers of the guys have called in to talk radio and told details of their sons' military service during Gulf War then their health problems afterward.

Why would they need lab research?

They have hundreds of first-hand Japanese sarin gas victims they can talk to and hear a variety of ailments, eight years after the Aum Shinrikyo attacked the morning Tokyo rush hour subways with SARIN.

There were many who got light doses since they were far away but close enough to be exposed.

It is still hell for many of them years later.
