Today, this traditional belief is most prevalent in the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, India, and Mexico. The Evil eye is said to be delivered by a look of envy, anger, or jealousy, frequently this occurs when the victim is unconscious of what is happening. Many people believe it can even be provided unintentionally in the form of exaggerated compliments and admiration.
