From what I gathered from them, the main problem with going into the restricted areas is that their are pockets of decomposed, but still toxic, chemical and bilogical agents.

The 22 year old herder by the name of Roberto Ergitui is said to have been found dead in his camp wagon with his dog. I wouldn't venture into the area even in the absence of patrols. There is a reason there are no ground patrols.
