There used to be people insisting it was mass hysteria. That hypothesis isn't looking so good, IMO.

- freeflight 8y agoIsn't it? Afaik so far this has only been affecting one US employee in China. That same employee was diagnosed with "a mild brain injury", whatever that's even supposed to mean, but he's the only one and he has an injured brain. Couldn't it be that he felt these sensations because of the brain injury and being impressed by what happened in Cuba lead to him making connections that don't exist? People are impressionable like that, that's why the placebo effect, and mass hysteria, are very real things.
- cpncrunch 8y agoThere is no biomarker for mild traumatic brain injury. It is diagnosed based purely on symptoms after a mild concussion. In this case there was no concussion, so the diagnosis seems a bit suspect.
