Very contagious to adults.
Symptoms:
A continual complaint as to the need for names, dates and places.
Patient has blank expression, often deaf to spouse and children. Has no
taste for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at
libraries and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters, swears at
the mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents strange places such as
cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate areas. Makes secret night calls.
Hides phone bill from spouse. Mumbles to self and has a far away look in
eyes.

NO KNOWN CURE....

Treatment:
Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal but gets progressively
worse. Patient should attend genealogy meetings, subscribe to a magazine
and be given a quiet corner in the house where they can be alone. The
usual nature of this disease is that the sicker the patient gets the
more they enjoy it!



Regards Hami
