*** Form of fatal insomnia discovered

(AP) - Researchers have discovered a brain-wasting disease that

begins with severe insomnia and ends in hallucinations and death. The

disease, sporadic fatal insomnia, is caused by the same type of

deformed proteins, known as prions, that cause mad cow disease and

its human variant, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, according to two

studies. There is no known treatment or cure. It is not clear what

causes the disease, but scientists know it is not inherited. And

unlike one type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, it is not believed to

come from infected meat. Instead scientists suspect it is caused by a

spontaneous mutation in a single brain or nerve cell. So far they

have identified only six cases of the disease, but there could be

others misdiagnosed as other mind-destroying illnesses such as

Alzheimer's disease. See
