MemberHi Martin –
Wonderful post – greater issue.
So sorry about what happened to you and your family.
I honestly had a hard time believing that US Soldiers were given:
Pyridostigmine bromide (PB)
Anti-nerve agent pill used during the Gulf War as a pretreatment to protect military personnel from death in an attack with the nerve agent soman. Supplied in the Gulf War as 21-tablet blister pack, with prescribed dosage as one 30-mg tablet every 8 hours.Mar 20, 2020″ https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar/sources/pyridostigmine-bromide.asp
So I went to the internet and found the above statement.
Certainly chemicals are all around us and cause so much damage. One might argue that they do more good than harm, but that is another conversation.
Thanks again for your post.
Scott
