Madsen:

Just stumbled upon this thread, praying for you, hope you knock these things out post haste. After reading some of the links you posted, I wondered if there might be any connection with these bugs and ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), and found this https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0610092649.htm

I had a good friend, in his 40s, who lived in Bossier City, LA. He died from ALS last year. No one on either side of his family had ever had the disease; however, he was big into hunting deer and hogs and always did his own butchering.
