Apparently, it affects some people (driving them insane and finally to death) but it doesn't affect others. Hence Daniel's experiments. He doesn't know why it affects some but not others.
The only things confirmed last night are that Jin was inside the "bubble" when the time-shift occurred, so he's not dead, though he is trapped far in the past. We can also safely Danielle Rousseau has been on the island for far, far longer than 17 years.

Yeah that was cool to see Jin alive.
I believe Faraday said that he thinks it has to do with how long those people have been on the island.
If you remember in "The Constant", both Desmond and Minkowski had "time travelled" to another time in their head (or whatever happened). Charlotte didn't say anything about her mind going anywhere.
Heres the quote from last night
MILES: Hey. (Sniffles) I just got a nosebleed.
FARADAY: What? When?
MILES: Let's just not freak out the others, okay? Just tell me... why--why her? Why me?
FARADAY: I don't know. Uh, I think it might have something to do with duration of exposure. You know, the amount of time you've spent on the island.
MILES: Doesn't make any sense. Those yahoos have been here for months. I've never been here before two weeks ago.
FARADAY: Are you sure about that?
