Baffling Illness Strikes Africa, Turns Children Into Mindless "Zombies"
World Health Organization is on high alert about new Ugandan outbreak, cause is not fully known.
It's called the "nodding disease" and it's a baffling illness that has struck thousands of children in northern Uganda. The illness brings on seizures,violent behavior in some(debated), personality changes, and a host of other unusual symptoms.
In one of the most bizarre symptoms of this tragic illness, children with the disease are reportedly setting fire to buildings in their communities. Coupled with the aimless wandering this disease provokes in victims, this is a deadly combination. More than 200 people have been killed in fires believed to be set by the zombified children.
