Abstract
During the recent Persian Gulf war, there were 18 missile attacks from western Iraq on scattered areas in Israel. The fear of chemical warheads resulted in the preventive use of gas masks by the Israeli population for variable periods after each alarm. We would like to report some of the medical complications that were associated with the wearing of gas masks.Keywords
