Uh, I'm familiar with equivalent concepts? I mean, I've never actually experienced Crane's particular version first hand, but fear attacks are a standard weapon in psychic combat and there are numerous beasties who naturally excrete stuff with the same effect. Mostly they seem to live in swamps, I dunno what that's all about.
Although I do know a bit about biochemistry, mostly because Dr. McCoy likes to talk out loud, and then I have to go look stuff up to work out what the hell he meant -- I don't really sleep much and I like to read a lot. Plus, psychic! So that helps.
Crane's actually been published quite a bit; I could get some of his work if you're interested? The X-Mansion has back issues of practically every science journal ever.
