"Indeed, magnetic anomalies caused when the sun’s corona ejects gigantic bubbles of charged particles out into the solar system can cause problems for Earth-orbiting satellites and power grids when they slam into Earth’s protective magnetosphere. It’s possible they could affect animals, as well, Pulkkinen said."

A quick read didn't show any mention of the rapidly moving magnetic poles. I think this should figure in also. I also feel it has an effect on the human brain too. Especially those unaware. (not engaged in a full stage of consciousness and behavioral control)
