Bat Meat May Cause Brain Disease
Theory Could Uncover New Treatments
WASHINGTON -- Scientists believe bat meat may be to blame for a horrific brain disease that once devastated the native people of Guam.
The mystery illness caused symptoms similar to those of Lou Gehrig's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases rolled into one, according to the study, published in the journal Neurology.
Researchers say the cause may be a dietary tradition of eating a type of bat that feeds on neuro-toxic plants.
The evidence is circumstantial so far. But if the theory is correct, it might lead to the discovery that diet can destroy the human brain.
Experts believe understanding the Guam disease might uncover new ways to treat regular Lou Gehrig's, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases.
