Ugandan Zombies

[Electric_Head]

You guys should check out this VBS Doc "Nzambi". Filmed in Haiti about the rumours of voodoo zombies, part of Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia series -

There's some added commentary here from a guy who's actually in Uganda and it tempers - somewhat - some aspects which CNN apparently got wrong or hyped up...

Updated:
Added commentary from Jason Oh, a Johns Hopkins Univ. public health studies student who is currently in Uganda studying the disease post-conflict transformation. Mr. Oh described some of the symptoms in more detail, and offered different perspective from the CNN reporters' experience.

CNN has also reworded their report to tone down the suggestion of violent behavior.

Nonetheless - this is horrific, heartbreaking stuff. I feel so bad for those poor kids... no idea why this is happening to them, just suffering.

(Jason Oh says that the diseases offers a tragic, slow mental degradation, taking years to develop. Affected children, embarassed about the nodding and afraid of infecting classmates often drop out of school, while still mentally capable. Eventually the seizures lead to the more severe symptoms mentioned in the intro -- loss of speech, partial paralysis, personality changes, and -- according to CNN -- violence.)

That was the exact bit I was interested in.

It's called the "nodding disease" and it's a baffling illness that has struck thousands of children in northern Uganda. The illness brings on seizures, violent behavior, personality changes, and a host of other unusual symptoms.

TBH they could easily be talking about Dragon Stout.
