X-rays! Natural as the sea sickness around plasma systems working at 10-20kv and above where there is a radiation emitting fitting leak (rubber seal) or a window or a thin section in the plumbing. if the system is vacuum tight just wrap a 1/16 or 1/8-inch thick strip of lead around the offending region.
