>>"-are we talking about a new type of dementia-like illness, coming up?"<<
look up dementia and/or Alzheimer's and prions... for that matter delve into prion diseases in general - I have brought this up many times over the years.
then research fungal prions...
all of these things are connected... it is a sick, very sick environment - and man seems hell bent on making it worse rather than permitting the planet to come back into equilibrium on its own.
