[edit] Request for Advice
I WAS INVOLVED IN NERVE GAS EXPERIMENTATION AT FT BRAGG, NC A LONG TIME AGO.A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE RECENTLY APPARENTLY HAD CONTACTED THE VA WHO THEN CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS SITUATION.
DURING THESE EXPERIMENTS WE WERE REPEATEDLY SUBJECTED TO VOLUMINOUS AMOUNTS OF NERVE GAS WHILE THE ONLY PROTECTIVE GEAR WORN WAS A GAS MASK. SHORTLY BEFORE HAVING THE GAS TURNED IN THE SIX LARGE MACHINES THERE, WE WERE ALL GIVEN A LARGE DOSES OF ATROPINE WHICH WE WERE TOLD WAS AN ANTIDOTE IF ANY NERVE GAS GOT BY THE MASK.
THE VA HAS SINCE OFFERED TO TREAT ME FOR THE ILLNESSES WHICH HAVE RESULTED; HOWEVER, SINCE THERE IS NOT A TRULY ENTHUSIASTIC FEELING WITHIN ME ABOUT VA'S CONCERN WITH MY HEALTH, IT IS MY DESIRE NOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT IT IS THE VA WANTS TO INVOLVE ME IN.
THOUGHOUT THE YEARS SINCE, I HAVE SUFFERED CONTINUALLY WITH BALANCE AS WELL AS OTHER ORTHOPEDIC AND GENERAL BODY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS WITH BOUTS OF INTERMITTENT FEELING OF ENORMOUS WEAKNESS. IN THE PAST I HAVE ALWAYS SOUGHT OUT PRIVATE MEDICAL HELP AND DOCTORS NOT FROM THE VA AND AM THINKING IF CONTINUING WITH THESE PRIVATE PHYSICIANS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
MY QUESTIONS ARE TWO. 1)WHERE ONE CAN OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THESE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES? 2)HOW THEY CAN BE TREATED AND WHAT TYPES OF MEDICAL TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE TO STOP THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THESE SYMPTOMS?
- Why is it conspiracy freaks always feel the need to SHOUT online? - hazhar
- Hazhar, if this gentleman truly did participate in military testing of nerve agents (which 'did' occur, according to military documents I ran across in my research for this site), then he is not a "conspracy freak". ClockworkTroll 23:47, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Sir, I wish I was able to help you. I am not a doctor, but as far as I know there is little knowledge of the long-term effects of nerve agents, and even less about possible treatments. ClockworkTroll 23:47, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I read your shouting article with great interest and conclude;
- 1) You are a liar, since anyone as you say "SUBJECTED TO VOLUMINOUS AMOUNTS OF NERVE GAS WHILE THE ONLY PROTECTIVE GEAR WORN WAS A GAS MASK" would be dead, since nerve gas is absorbed also by the skin, not only through the breathways, and
- 2) You need treatment for clinical paranoia. Nixdorf 12:16, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Revert a few months
In June someone at 159.242.10.188 took out major parts of the article (like the entire "History" section!), for this reason it has been reverted. Sad that this was not detected earlier. Nixdorf 12:16, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UN Resolution 687
The article says this document classifies nerve agents/chemical weapons as WMDs. However, Wikisource:UN Security Council Resolution 687 is about Kuwait's return to independence and a call on Iraq to renounce chemical and nuclear weapons. Does anyone know the correct UN resolution? Stephen Compall 20:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I haven't found anything from the UN, but maybe the chemical weapons convention? raptor 06:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cutaneous toxicity of nerve agents
The G-agents penetrate skin poorly. While there have been incidents of cholinesterase depression following prolonged or high-concentration skin exposure to GB vapor, a person protected by a mask might do fairly well for some time. Sandy L 23:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
