 BREAKING NEWS:

NEW DISEASE DISCOVERED ON MOTHER EARTH

A very good evening my dearest MARTIANS,

Mother earth has been hit with a new disease known as PARKINSON’S DISEASE. Trembling of hands and limbs while at rest, reduction in movement as well as instability of posture have been observed as confirmed primary symptoms of this disease.

It seems that the disease starts off by affecting only one side of the body, which includes body stiffening. Also, it has been found that this disease causes pain and muscle ache due to progressive stiffness which increases with movement. Individuals who are more progressive with the disease tend to be seen having a distinct shuffle while walking in a hunched posture, making walking a potential challenge.

Due to the gradual stiffening of the body, it may severely affect facial muscles as well. With patients having no control over their facial muscles, having expressionless “mask-like” appearance may be a possible outcome.

Affected individuals range from age 60 onwards and doctors are predicting that it may even affect younger generations age 20-40.

Although this disease is not infectious, hospitals have been receiving constant calls and questions from worried family members. However, do not fret as doctors and researchers are working very hard to find out the causes and cures for this disease.

That’s all for today folks!

In collaboration with Ngee Ann poly general hospital, our martian doctors will be working very closely with them to bring you the latest updates on this disease!

Proudly brought to you by Mar's Biochemistry 101, for the fastest updates on Mother Earth’s newest disease discovery :)
