Is Dementia Contagious?

[Emil Kraepelin]

The article's sidebar adds (and I will comment later):

People with mild cognitive impairment often have mild memory difficulties but usually no other sign of Alzheimer's.

The 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's:

Severe memory loss.
Difficulty doing familiar tasks.
Problems talking or writing.
Confusion about the time or place.
Loss of judgment.
Problems with abstract thinking.
Misplacing things. People with Alzheimer's might put items in unusual places.
Changes in mood or behavior.
Changes in personality.
Loss of motivation.

I have noticed that a particular senior poster here exhibits the symptomatology:

Severe memory loss (can't remember the lies you told).
Difficulty doing familiar tasks (keeping your self-coined acronyms straight).
Problems talking or writing (severe orthography errors).
Confusion about the time or place (what century are we in?).
Loss of judgment (thinking that there really ARE leading indicators).
Problems with abstract thinking (volume leads price?).
Misplacing things. People with Alzheimer's might put items in unusual places (head up ass).
Changes in mood or behavior (from savior to martyr).
Changes in personality (nice guy to "fuck you!").
Loss of motivation (when one's mentees just can't seem to start trading).

I recommend a bottle of Gloria Ferrer each night, consumed intravenously, and ice cold. If old veins are collapsed, a champagne enema is the next best option.

Perhaps contagion is an issue where shared bottles are not properly cleansed between applications. Of notable concern is the unfortunate user who cannot distinguish between the 2 bottles. Annotation can help.
