This is similar to what many veterans who served in the Gulf War have experienced, a condition known as Gulf War Illness. It's like the camel's body being affected by the harsh desert environment, leading to a range of health challenges.

This study explores the potential benefits of Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, for individuals with Gulf War Illness. It's like seeking a natural remedy in the desert, using traditional practices to alleviate the camel's symptoms. The researchers are developing a study to investigate whether Tai Chi can improve physical and mental health in veterans with this condition.
