High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yellow rain was a political incident in which Alexander Haig accused the Soviet Union of supplying T-2 mycotoxin to the Communist regimes in Vietnam and Laos for use in counterinsurgency warfare. Samples supplied to independent scientists turned out to be honeybee feces.The charges stemmed from events in Laos and Vietnam beginning in 1975, when the two governments, which were allied with and supported by the Soviet Union, retaliated against Hmong tribes, peoples who had sided with the United States during the Vietnam War. Refugees fled from what they described as chemical warfare attacks by low-flying aircraft; most of the reports were of a yellow, oily liquid that the Hmong dubbed "yellow rain". Those exposed claimed neurological and physical symptoms including seizures, blindness, and bleeding. Similar reports came from the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1978.
