Default Something you should be aware of: Raccoon Roundworm Encephalitis
Raccoon Roundworm Encephalitis





Baylisascaris procyonis (BP), a common roundworm found in the small intestine of raccoons, causes severe or fatal encephalitis (neural larva migrans [NLM]) in a variety of birds and mammals, including humans.


BP also can cause human ocular and visceral larva migrans. Humans become infected with BP by ingesting soil or other materials (e.g., bark or wood chips) contaminated with raccoon feces containing BP eggs... (more)

I think I've been exposed to this. It seems to affect the memory and it also, if I am not mistaken, affects the memory.

James,
I believe you are suffering from C.R.S. syndrome! It seems to be prevalent in the state of New Hampshire and I also believe it is highly contagious. I have been told that you can transmit it through the Internet!
