Chemical Weapons

NPR's Richard Harris and Martha Raddatz talk with Noah about the possible health consequences for soldiers who were inadvertently exposed to chemical weapons during the Gulf War. Some have suggested that this exposure may explain the ailments known collectively as "Gulf War Syndrome." Harris also discusses the possible health effects of vaccinating all troops against anthrax.
