There were lots of issues. I'm talking about the Gulf War situation now rather than the Balkans. There was a sand fly problem, and so organophosphate insecticides were widely used. The tents were sprayed with them, and all sorts of things like that.
People were given injections, which were not normally, I understand, given.
Can I say something here? My knowledge in this area is hearsay, from talking to people, okay? I don't want....
But I understand that a number of injections were given to armed forces members against possible biological agents that the Iraqis might use. There was extensive use of organophosphate insecticides. There were other exposures there, and as a toxicologist, a lot of things I see in the Gulf War syndrome are more easily attributed to organophosphates to my mind than to depleted uranium. I think of the list of all of the ones that could have caused it.
Undoubtedly with those issues of the Gulf War syndrome, I think it's much more likely it was something like organophosphates rather than uranium.
