Not necessarily.. an intelligence service weapon can be restricted to only intelligence service targets. Like Russian KGB use of poison.
But I also agree it’s some kind of energy device that vibrates the molecules in your tissues which causes damage to cells that either transmit signals or all cells with water in it. The energy device could be tuned to vibrate certain molecules and not so much others. So this could conceal its a simple microwave device if it mysteriously has certain symptoms and not others like a microwave that’s tuned to water molecules (like your home microwave)
It occured to me that tinfoil hats might actually become a thing. ?
My guess is that Esteban, the underchef at the Havana embassy accidentally burned popcorn in the cafeteria using an outdated Russian-made microwave oven, causing said device to explode and send out a megaburst of DNA-damaging waves.
Now, you promised me a hat, no?
My money is on the Russkies. Their embassy in Havana must be chock full of nasty devices.
Siderosis is the deposition of excess iron in body tissue. When used without qualification, it usually refers to an environmental disease of the lung, also known more specifically as pulmonary siderosis or Welder's disease, which is a form of pneumoconiosis. Pulmonary siderosis was first described in 1936 from X-ray images of the lungs of arc welders. The name siderosis comes from Ancient Greek word for iron, sídēr, and has an-osis suffix. --Wiki
Are you an arc welder?
Infratentorial superficial siderosis, commonly identified as superficial siderosis, is a disabling degenerative disorder affecting the brain and spinal cord. Persistent or recurring long-term bleeding (hemorrhage) into the subarachnoid space in the brain results in a toxic build-up of hemosiderin (an important component of iron delivery) on the surface of the brain and pia mater from circulating cerebrospinal fluid. Patients will present with one or more of the classic triad of symptoms: hearing loss, movement abnormalities (ataxia), and motor difficulties due to suspected spinal cord injury (myelopathy) with pyramidal signs.
No. I arc welded as a kid but that’s it. I’ve had several concussions and one significant TBI. It’s ok to joke about it the brain damage. I’m used to them. ?
I didn't mean to joke at you. I apologize that it came off that way.
No, you didn’t at all. It didn’t even cross my mind. Pls accept my apology.
I’m pretty thick skinned aka insensitive ? so I joke about most anything and accept the jokes back. My injuries are minor compared to most. ?
