The fear factor of pheromones -- DOD study revealed. LBAM folks take notice.

by Tim Rumford (sleepisarght [at] live.com)
“Now, the US Army is trying to track down and harness people's smell of fear. The military has backed a study on the "Identification and Isolation of Human Alarm Pheromones," which "focused on the Preliminary Identification of Steroids of Interest in Human Fear Sweat." The so-called "skydiving protocol" was the researchers' method of choice.”

The fear factor of pheromones. DOD study revealed.

“Now, the US Army is trying to track down and harness people's smell of fear. The military has backed a study on the "Identification and Isolation of Human Alarm Pheromones," which "focused on the Preliminary Identification of Steroids of Interest in Human Fear Sweat." The so-called "skydiving protocol" was the researchers' method of choice.”

Something to ponder when thinking about aerial spraying of pheromones.

I was not one that was so much worried about the affects of the LBAM spraying istelf. I was more concerned that we were being used as Guinea Pigs for some future use. If they can get away with spraying over a populated area in one of the most liberal cities in America --they can do it anywhere. I thought the LBAM people would want to at least see this. I suggest you read the PDF file, and not just the small citation file. The PDF is here as an upload. I ran into this document on the testing of Human Pheromones by the Good old Department of Defense. The idea being to find the fear factor pheromone and extract it for use as a military applications. My point is, Pheromones are not just about attraction, they are about many things that control our emotions, etc.

“Pheromones are chemicals released by animals as signals to their own kind: for sex, for territorial marking, and more. They're often detected in the olfactory membranes. But there's more to pheromones than attraction. Many animals and humans have alarm pheromones.”

The Grant that funds this is also funding 4 other projects which have wide ranges of military uses. I could not resist this logo from their site. We should be taking better care of returning soldiers, who many can't find housing upon return. See the Movie " When I Came Home" But we spend billions on this sort of research, making a soldier better in the field with little to no public accountability.
