the use of organophosphate pesticides and insect repellents during the first gulf war is credited with keeping rates of pest-borne diseases low. pesticide use is one of only two exposures consistently identified by gulf war epidemiologic studies to be significantly associated with gulf war illness. multisymptom illness profiles similar to gulf war illness have been associated with low-level pesticide exposures in other human populations. in addition, gulf war studies have identified dose-response effects, indicating that greater pesticide use is more strongly associated with gulf war illness than more limited use. pesticide use during the gulf war has also been associated with neurocognitive deficits and neuroendocrine alterations in gulf war veterans in clinical studies conducted following the end of the war. the 2008 report concluded that "all available sources of evidence combine to support a consistent and compelling case that pesticide use during the gulf war is causally associated with gulf war illness."
