I hear you Mariel.

EBV has been tossed around for 3 decades now (or more) so I tend to believe it IS a virus that sets the disease off. Maybe it's not EBV, maybe it's not Rubella... nor Distemper, or any of the other viruses that they've targetted over the years, but I think from this and many similar articles, we'll eventually have to accede that a virus of some kind, is behind the trigger.

Maybe it is the EBV......maybe not, but it's good to know that all of these preceptors that we've heard about for decades now, are now being fully investigated.
