According to reports, the victim could not be identified, she had to seek medical help on her return to the US.
This is the first case reported by a foreign diplomat Havana Syndrome in India.
What is the mysterious syndrome?
“Havana Syndrome” is a group of unexplained illnesses afflicted by US and Canadian diplomats/spies around the world.
The syndrome first surfaced in 2016 when several US officials working at the embassy in the Cuban capital, Havana, reported a mysterious group of illnesses, including migraines, nausea, memory loss, and dizziness.
The cause of these events is still unknown, but speculation in the US centers on electromagnetic beams.
In the past five years, nearly 200 US officials have reported suffering from the syndrome. And this’s Not limited to Havana only.
The syndrome has only been reported by authorities in China, Germany, Australia, Taiwan and Washington.
Recently, two diplomats in Hanoi, Vietnam reported similar illnesses, which interrupted the Vice President Kamala HarrisForeign travel itinerary in August.
Earlier this year, there were several dozen reports at the US Embassy in Vienna and several incidents at the White House last November.
sonic weapon theory
In 2020, a study on Havana syndrome by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine concluded that more than 130 victims experienced some real physical event, and that the cause was most likely some form of electromagnetic radiation.
Symptoms included a feeling of pressure in the face, loud voice, severe headache, nausea and confusion. In some cases, victims seem to have been left with lasting health effects.
However, Cuban scientists said on Monday that there was no evidence of US diplomats’ claims of having arrived on the island with the so-called “Havana Syndrome”.
They attributed the reported symptoms to psychological effects or to a range of common diseases and pre-existing conditions.
But if Havana Syndrome was caused by weapons that shoot energy beams, they would not be the first such weapons.
How exactly do beams affect people?
According to The Conversation, electromagnetic waves have a very wide range of wavelengths that are characterized by the distance between successive peaks.
These waves can interact in different ways with different types of matter, including the human body.
At shorter wavelengths, a few hundred billionths of a meter, ultraviolet rays from the Sun can burn the surface of the skin if one is exposed for too long.
Microwaves have a long wavelength. People use them everyday to heat food. Microwaves transfer energy to the water molecules inside the food.
The US military has developed a directed energy technology that shoots beams of slightly longer wavelengths at a range of up to a mile into a focused area.
This directed energy technology was designed for non-lethal control of congestion. When these waves interact with a person, they pass through the skin and transfer the energy to the water below the surface.
It is plausible that an electromagnetic beam can be projected hundreds of yards away, at just the right wavelength, to create the symptoms seen in Havana syndrome events.
If so, it is likely that these rays are interfering with the electrical functions of the brain and central nervous system.
However, this type of electromagnetic radiation doesn’t leave a telltale mark like a sunburn, which makes it difficult to be certain of an explanation.
That syndrome remains a mystery.
