In a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook teaching, researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist. That such vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughout the body is surprising on its own, but the true significance of the discovery lies in the effects it could have on the study and treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer's disease to multiple sclerosis.

"I thought that these discoveries ended somewhere around the middle of the last century. But apparently they have not."
Wow, it's like they read this forum. LANK

from the article:

It’s now estimated by the World Health Organizations that more than 50 to 100 million people in more than 100 countries develop the acute illness each year, primarily in tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

There is considerable cost to dengue, including medical care and lost wages and decreased productivity. Dengue sufferers typically experience high fever, rash, headaches, convulsions, and joint and muscle pain that can last up to two weeks. In severe cases, hospitalization is needed, especially for children, but the disease still proves fatal for 20,000 people each year.

Only 20k deaths a year. Not a problem.
