When American and Canadian diplomats fell ill in Cuba, the Trump administration suggested that they had been attacked by some form of secret weapon.
Conspiracy theorists obsessed over the idea that they may have fallen victim to some form of sonic ray - although Canada refrained from such suggestions.
Now a new Canadian study has suggested another culprit - a neurotoxin which originated from fumigation against mosquitoes during the Zika epidemic.
The incidents took place from late 2016 into 2018, and the United States in 2017 reduced its embassy staff to a minimum and Canada followed more recently.
The US cited the incidents and the danger posed to staff from what has become known as the Havana Syndrome.

(6,265 posts)we are destroying rainforest worldwide through fire and greed. We/they are releasing all types of toxins, bacteria, viruses and whatever else can cause illness and death in human beings. These mosquitoes may have travelled from the rain forests on ships, planes, trucks, from the corporations destroying our rain forests. No proof just common sense, I feel. Pathogens, viruses etc. should have remained in those rain forests as they have been for millions of years. Just a feeling.
