    It has hit other people, including children of officials from the US and canada, and there is reported and documented brain damage.

    Saying that, it's most likely insecticide sprays.

    I don't know where this "it's a hangover excuse" gibberish comes from but it's not that. It's certainly not a weapon or sonic gun or microwaves or whatever, but it's not nothing -- at least in some cases.

          There are both Canadian and American journal articles published with MRI brain imaging comparisons.

          Now, I'm not saying all of the cases are real -- but I believe that some have actual damage, and maybe others are psychosomatic or straight up lying to take advantage of it.

            My thoughts exactly. I think the origins of it track with people being accidentally exposed to insecticides in certain embassies years back when the embassies were treating for Zika, and those were the ones who genuinely had symptoms/ brain damage of some kind.

            The rest...not so much.
