Now when you start jumping, however, it seems to cause you to go crazy in two separate time periods (a random point in the past and when you were exposed to the storm in the present).
Now that I think about it, it also seems odd that the mouse went into the future when exposed, but Desmond goes into the past when exposed (presumably in the storm). So I guess if Daniel was exposed he could have happened either in the past from his own machine or in the present (I am taking the island as the present) when traveling to the island through the storm.

the storm wasn't the cause of his exposure, it was when the magnet device in the bunker exploded. otherwise we'd have seen Sayid doing the jumping thing too. i think Desmond's jumping was triggered when he was brought back to "real time" after getting far enough away from the island
