This could be completely wrong as Iâm just going off of the laughing that anti shows
But I found a disease known as âKuruâ
Kuru is a very rare, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is caused by the transmission of abnormally folded prion proteins, which leads to symptoms such as tremors, loss of coordination, and neurodegeneration.
The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria (âto shakeâ), due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease and kĂșru itself means âtremblingâ. It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead. Females and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children.
While the Fore people stopped eating human meat half a century ago, the disease lingered due to kuruâs long incubation period of anywhere from 10 to over 50 years. The epidemic declined sharply after discarding cannibalism, from 200 deaths per year in 1957 to 1 or no deaths annually in 2005, with the last known kuru victim dying in 2009.
The clinical stage, which begins at the first onset of symptoms, lasts an average of 12 months. The clinical progression of kuru is divided into three specific stages, the ambulant, sedentary and terminal stages.
In the first (ambulant) stage, the infected individual may exhibit unsteady stance and gait, decreased muscle control, tremors, difficulty pronouncing words (dysarthria), and titubation. (Titubation is a tremor)
In the second (sedentary) stage, the infected individual is incapable of walking without support and suffers ataxia and severe tremors. Furthermore, the individual shows signs of emotional instability and depression, yet exhibits uncontrolled and sporadic laughter.
In the last stage basically they die.
But to me that sounds sort of like Anti. Not all of it but a lot of it.
The first stage is tremors and spasms, this is what Anti does when he shows up he just shakes on the camera.
The second stage is where itâs weird I think. They show emotional instability whoâs is what Anti is, heâs out of control.
And laughs uncontrollably, again Anti does this when he shows up he laughs like heâs mocking us. Maybe he just canât control it and we all think he was doing it to scare us.
Now this is all speculation so if you have any other ideas please tell me :D
