    At least here unlike the yanks, we've not allowed Diacetyl to be used in our vapes, a big cause of popcorn lung.
    Still think there must be some **** put in them though.

    When I was a kid, the local corner shop would sell cigarettes individually. The old girl behind the jump couldn’t care less how old you were!

    Yeah,we had one and it was a *** with a free match, if required.

    Those were the days when you could strike a match on a wall, rather than the poor excuse we have for them now.

    Awful disease...

    AI Overview

    Yes, rabies can cause significant neurological changes that may appear as madness. Rabies infection of the central nervous system leads to abnormal and aggressive behavior, hallucinations, and fear of water (hydrophobia). Once symptoms appear, rabies is nearly always fatal.

    Elaboration:
    Rabies, a viral disease affecting the central nervous system, can cause a range of behavioral changes. These changes are often described as "madness" due to the severity and erratic nature of the symptoms. Here's a breakdown:

    • Furious Rabies:
      This form of rabies is characterized by hyperactivity, erratic behavior, aggression, and hallucinations. Individuals may also experience hydrophobia (fear of water) and aerophobia (fear of drafts or fresh air).
    • Neurological Symptoms:
      As the virus progresses, it can cause confusion, anxiety, agitation, and hallucinations. In some cases, paralysis may occur.
    • Fatal Outcome:
      Once neurological symptoms develop, rabies is almost always fatal. Supportive care is typically provided, but there is no cure.
    • Behavioral Changes:
      The virus can significantly alter behavior, causing aggression, erratic movements, and confusion. These changes are part of how the virus spreads, as aggressive behavior can lead to transmission through bites.

    (1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.
