"SNIP......

Ten Canadians in Cuba have experienced symptoms — including headaches, dizziness, nausea and difficulty concentrating — according to government officials who briefed reporters in Ottawa Monday.

...

A new report by a Canadian medical specialist raises the possibility that some of the Canadians have experienced a "new type of possible acquired brain injury." A senior government official said that this injury is new to science.

"The cause remains unknown but could be human-made," says a media release from Global Affairs.

Officials said that some of those who seemed to recover have since seen the symptoms reassert themselves.

1. They know it is not sonic or mass hysteria. Could be a new weapon.

4. Both embassies . Could it be surveillance equipment gone wrong ? The results don't sound viral

5. This is very interesting. I can't imagine Cuba would be doing something to harm diplomats in their

own country. Mass hysteria? A third nation that wants to embarrass Cuba? A third nation that is testing new technology?

6. The Canadian science people have discounted mass hysteria as the cause.
