Mass Hysteria: Almost as if in a movie!

I came across this article about a social illness that has showed up in central America, in which a group of people are affected contagiously. The primary symptoms include breathing problems, shaking, anxiety excreta, it has also been reported that in later stages the affected individuals seize to remember where they are and refuse to recognize anyone around.

The thing so freaky about this is that it is an illness that affects the behavior or multiple people at the same time. It is contiguous while no one knows how it is transmitted or transferred, and more over no one knows how it starts - what causes it and above all there is no cure. It is almost as shown in some Hollywood movie like The Invasion or Resident Evil or something!
