A mysterious illness that hit dozens of American and Canadian diplomats in 2016 in Havana, Cuba, is likely connected to insecticides sprayed to fight Zika virus, according to a new study
Cuba 'sonic attacks' changed people's brains, study suggests Government personnel complained about symptoms including vertigo, ringing in the ears, pain, blurred vision, dizziness and memory and concentration problems. Leaders at the US Department of State were concerned that personnel were victims of an"acoustic attack" by sonic devices. The mysterious illness came to be known as"Havana syndrome.
Cuba's Zika battle 02:24Zika virus disease is an illness spread through mosquito bites. It can cause birth defects and other neurological defects. After outbreaks began in 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activated its emergency response to Zika in January 2016, and deactivated it in September 2017.A call to the US Department of State about the study was not returned.
Friedman said researchers hope to work with Cuban scientists to see if others in the area were impacted."There is a lot we don't know about how much we can expose people to these chemicals and what are toxic levels, or if the damage in the brain is reversible," said Friedman."But it's not called a neurotoxin for nothing. The hint is in the name."
