Consider This from NPR - Havana Syndrome: Over 200 Cases Documented Yet Cause Remains A Mystery
The list of symptoms include hearing loud sounds, nausea fatigue, and dizzying migraines, among others.
The cause of this mystery illness is a source of curiosity, but it remains unknown.
Last year the State Department commissioned a study by the National Academies of Sciences for researchers to investigate Havana Syndrome.
NPR's Sarah McCammon spoke to Dr. David Relman, a Stanford professor who headed the investigation.
One possible cause their group came to was a form of microwave radiation that occurs in a pulsed or intermittent form.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Song Exploder - Willow – Transparent Soul feat. Travis Barker
Willow Smith is a singer and songwriter from Los Angeles. She’s also a member of one of the most famous families in the world. From a very young age, she followed in the musical footsteps of her parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and released her first single when she was just ten years old. Since then, she’s released four albums, and was named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most influential people in the world. This year, on her most recent album, she put out this song, "Transparent Soul," which was co-written with her longtime collaborator Tyler Cole, and features Travis Barker from Blink-182 on drums. I talked to her about how her upbringing and her musical evolution from her early pop star days influenced the way she made this song.
