WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Epidemiologist Robert W. Haley, a Texas researcher, may get as much as $75 million in federal funding to investigate Gulf War syndrome.
The Washington Post reported that a wide range of experts has dismissed Gulf War syndrome. But Haley has been trying to prove for the last 10 years that troops who fought in the 1991 war were exposed to a toxic combination of nerve gas, pesticides, insect repellents and a nerve-gas antidote.
Haley insists that his toxicity hypothesis is the explanation for the spectrum of symptoms that define Gulf War syndrome, in which victims have been known to suffer from fatigue, memory loss, poor sleep and rashes.
The Post reported that funding for Haley's research has sparked concern among many scientists who reject the validity of Gulf War syndrome.
