Havana Syndrome

- Mass Psychogenic Illness and the Real Story Behind the Embassy Mystery and Hysteria

Über Havana Syndrome

It is one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science: the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a ΓÇ£sonic weaponΓÇ¥ that led to a major diplomatic row. Since August 2017, the world media has been absorbed in the ΓÇ£attackΓÇ¥ on diplomats from the American and Canadian Embassies in Cuba. While physicians treating victims have described it as a novel and perplexing condition that involves an array of complaints including brain damage, the authors present compelling evidence that mass psychogenic illness was the cause of ΓÇ£Havana Syndrome.ΓÇ¥ This mysterious condition that has baffled experts is explored across 11-chapters which offer insights by a prominent neurologist and an expert on psychogenic illness. A lively and enthralling read, the authors explore the history of similar scares from the 18th century belief that sounds from certain musical instruments were harmful to human health, to 19th century cases of ΓÇ£telephone shock,ΓÇ¥ and more contemporary panics involving people living near wind turbines that have been tied to a variety of health complaints. The authors provide dozens of examples of kindred episodes of mass hysteria throughout history, in addition to psychosomatic conditions and even the role of insects in triggering outbreaks. Havana Syndrome: Mass Psychogenic Illness and the Real Story Behind the Embassy Mystery and Hysteria is a scientific detective story and a case study in the social construction of mass psychogenic illness.
