What does epilepsy have to do with sheep?

Epilepsy has nothing to do with contact with sheep. It is caused by abnormal hormone balance in the body or side effects of drugs, so you don’t have to worry about epilepsy caused by contact with sheep. Epilepsy is a neurological disease that can cause patients to have chicken feet and a purple face. The attacks are quite terrifying. It is hoped that patients should receive timely treatment so as to control the number of attacks.

Many people know about epilepsy. Due to its wide range of incidence and long history, many people know about it even if they have not read books or other media magazines. These are all passed down by word of mouth. Especially in many rural areas, this disease is still often encountered. Because the movements and behaviors during the onset of the disease are very abnormal, everyone will be deeply impressed after seeing it and will not forget it for a long time. In ancient times, due to the limitations of medical technology, epilepsy was regarded as a supernatural event in many areas. In modern times, due to technological advances and economic development, this situation has been greatly improved. Although there are still some misunderstandings, I will talk about the common misunderstandings below.

The reason why there are misunderstandings about epilepsy is that many people actually don’t understand epilepsy, and many of them are spread by word of mouth, and in the end the person who originally knew it would turn out like this. The most common misunderstanding actually comes from its name. Many people do not understand the origin of the name of epilepsy. They may not have the conditions or are too lazy to ask, so they take it for granted that epilepsy is related to sheep. They are afraid that sheep are transmitted to humans, and people are infected with epilepsy because they eat mutton. Although it sounds ridiculous, there are actually reasons for it. The person who guessed wrong may pass it on as experience to others, so it will spread more and more widely. In the period when there is no way to verify it, this is no different from the real thing.

Having said so much, in fact, to a large extent, rumors are caused by backward technology and lack of knowledge. In this case, it is generally useless to deal with these rumors individually. As long as we work hard to develop the economy, culture, science and technology, rumors will naturally be debunked over time. For example, there are often some false information on the Internet now, but these are generally difficult to expand. This is because people have become less easy to fool. For patients with epilepsy, you must learn to identify these rumors about epilepsy to avoid affecting your condition. Finally, I wish everyone a speedy recovery.
