It is a condition that Sergeant Avery Johnson has, caused by exposure to high yield plasma grenades. It was contracted when he used an entire crate of plasma grenades to hold off Covenant forces on Paris IV.
Several members of the United Rebel Front claimed to have this condition, they hoped to bargain with the UNSC to gain treatment for the condition in trade for some FENRIS Nuclear Warheads.
