What is the yellow rain?
yellow rain is an airborne substance that sticks to exposed outdoor surfaces. A person's exposure can lead to a number of debilitating symptoms and sometimes death. He first noticed in Southeast Asia in the 1970s and initially considered to be caused by a chemical or biological weapon. The predominance of evidence now suggests that it was Honeybee. The refugees of the trunk said oily yellow aerosol was scattered from low flying aircraft. Those who were exposed claimed that life -threatening physical and neurological symptoms. This unknown substance was commonly referred to as yellow rain. Reports of similar incidents were followed by a Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1978.Terinsurgency Warfare. These charges were in line with the report on the US Army's medical department, which attributed thousands of deaths in Vietnam, Cambodia and Afghanistan to toxins supplied by several systems. The Soviet Union denied the accusation.
Invisions from 1982 C. J. Miroch of the University of Minnesota into alleged chemical attacks in Southeast Asia claimed to have found T-2 and other mycotoxins in blood, urine and tissues. Dr. Mirocha also claimed that the toxins in question are rarely found and rarely together because they produce different processes. This was considered to be convincing evidence that toxins were artificially produced and used in yellow rain as a chemical war agency.
Later investigation began to question the claim that yellow rain was a chemical weapon. Subsequent investigations by US government Ernment did not provide any evidence of verifying earlier claims. It was questioned how Miroch's studies could find evidence of toxins in samples taken weeks after the exposure when these toxins are excluded from the human body within hours. This seems to indicate a naturally occurring source of contamination.
Biologist Investigation Matthew Meselson from 1983 found that evidence considered by carsEntic consists mainly of pollen previously spent bee. This confirmed the previous analysis of the Australian Defense Ministry. The traces of every significant toxin have been detected, albeit at levels far below what is necessary to be used as a weapon. Further research has shown that mushrooms that have naturally produced toxins.
Studies of Canadian and Malaysian biologists have shown that Asian bees are taking flights of mass defecation to reduce their body temperature. This is done to reduce the temperature of the colonies and the protection of the larvae development. It also provides a natural delivery mechanism for a large deposit of predicted pollen. It seems that yellow rain is nothing more than Asian feces.
The same conclusion was reported in Chinese scientific journals as early as 1977. Investigating the incident of the yellow rain in Jiangs province in September 1976 found that contamination consists mainly of pollen. At that time, Chinese scientists concluded that it was excrement of bees.
mushrooms,who produce the toxins concerned not only yellow rain, but also food supply in the region. Side effects seem to be a naturally occurring consequence of this fact. However, there is the potential of these toxins to be used as a weapon. As long as this potential exists, it cannot be stated with the absolute certainty that they have never been used as a weapon.
