“Of Mice and Men”


A study linking chronic fatigue syndrome to a mouse virus has been debunked by new research.  The new study says you can’t just say it’s a mouse virus just because your patients suddenly like cheese.

The original study was published in 2009, but it took a long time to disprove the results because the test subjects were being chased by cats.

Despite the disproval of the link between chronic fatigue and the mouse virus, all sick mice are still encouraged to get some rest.

The new results come from analysis of patients’ urine.  That urine was extracted from the wood chips at the bottom of their cage.

People suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome have been looking for treatments, but have grown tired of it.

There is still a theory, however, that mice suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome may have a human virus.

The original research came under fire after several chronic fatigue patients were seen taking cat naps.
