According to a 2020 US National Academy report, "In late 2016, U.S. Embassy personnel in Havana, Cuba, began to report the development of an unusual set of symptoms and clinical signs.” For some of these patients, their case began with the sudden onset of a loud noise, perceived to have directional features, and accompanied by pain in one or both ears or across a broad region of the head, and in some cases, a sensation of head pressure or vibration, dizziness, followed in some cases by tinnitus, visual problems, vertigo, and cognitive difficulties. 

The Spokane River is 111 miles long and stretches from the northern Panhandle of Idaho to empty into the low eastern mountains at Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake in Washington. It is home to species of fish such as Rainbow Trout, Kokanee, Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Smallmouth Bass. In addition is indigenous Salmon, a prime source of nutrition for the native peoples. The river is noted as one of the best fly-fishing rivers in Washington while the Spokane arm of Lake Roosevelt and Long Lake are known for their supreme walleye fishing spots.
