Ciotu Mania is the first epidemic to spread via electronic media Pronounced "see-oh-too," the origins of this dementia are obscure. Tracing the disease has been complicated by there being two apparent epicenters or contagion "hot spots" -- one in Europe, centered around Brussels, and the other on the US West Coast, with Los Angeles and Sacramento considered likely infection points. Ciotu Mania is believed to belong to the Jade-Vermillion class of diseases. Recognizing the demented Ciotu Maniacs are identified as having loss of historical perspective, declining logic and numeric skills, increasing feelings of looming disaster and a growing fixation on weather events as portents of that disaster. Patients are likely to develop a phobia regarding plant food and to visualize human well-being as damaging to an anthropomorphized planet, with "Mother Earth" having a "fever" -- this may be extended to viewing humans as a pathogen "infecting" the "Earth Mother." Exposure to certain audio-visual cues, slide shows and Al Gore interviews appears to cause chronic sufferers to advance to the acute stage of the disorder. What can be done At this time it remains unclear whether sufferers can be cured. Exposure to history and so-called "skeptic" information or "contrarians" does appear to have some protective effect against this form of dementia although sufferers of full blown Ciotu Mania exhibit considerable distress when exposed to any sort of facts and display significant aversion to "sound science." Carers should exercise caution exposing sufferers to corrective information and should desist at the first sign of inevitable hysteria. As a public service JunkScience.com is providing additional inoculation against this terrible disorder in the form of a new page addressing recent claims of "mother Earth's fever." More information on this critical public health issue as the story develops.
