"Veterans who served in combat zones took Pyridostigmine Bromide pills, small doses of a nerve agent intended to allow troops to build up resistance in case of a chemical attack."
Yeah can't see anything going wrong with that.
Pyridostigmine Bromide may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, increased peristalsis, increased salivation, increased bronchial secretions, miosis and diaphoresis. Nicotinic side effects are comprised chiefly of muscle cramps, fasciculation and weakness which, through involvement of the muscles of respiration, may lead to death.
"Among support troops, symptoms of illness were most common in personnel who used pesticides on their uniforms or skin, the researchers found."
Unreal...
