The Forgotten Plague- DANCE MANIA!!!
In this episode of The Brain Food Show, we skip the quick fact because this one took forever to research and put together and I ran out of time. 😉 Instead we jump right into the main topic which is a very real phenomenon that popped up off and on for several hundred years called Dance Mania or St. Vitus’ Dance. While it might sound like a bit of a joke, it was surprisingly deadly at times and had a fascinating cure.
We then look at the probable cause of this phenomenon, along with many other similar ones, including a couple in modern times, that all seem to have the same root.
On another note, if you could do us a huge favor and rate and review this show in whatever podcasting platform you’re using (including hopefully giving us some feedback related to the new format), we would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

You have a click-bait to lure the unsuspecting (Me) or, idiots (anyone else, naturally), to an empty address?
todayifoundout -on my first discovery of your site, that I don’t like having my time wasted – thank you for showing your ass early in the game.
Not sure what you are talking about with the “Empty Address” thing. This is a normal podcast episode.
I think he is (impolitely) implying that your website link in the youtube podcast goes to a dead link. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/feed/brainfood/ is the link, and it just brings up a sea of code (or what think is code)
That is intentional. 🙂 That’s the link you want to put into any random podcast app if just searching for the podcast doesn’t work in a given app. 🙂
Ah, I didn’t know that (I just google searched to find your website). Thanks for the info 🙂
Sonny Crockett’s boat he lived on in Miami Vice was called the St. Vitus Dance… Although I had to actually DRIVE to a library, to actually take a book and look it up, reading it off paper… Things that aren’t done today…(thanks to Google and Bing…)… Leaning in like 1985-86 about what the St Vitus Dance was. (It’s now the name of my van, which NO ONE knows the name today, except that I’m a DJ so they think it’s a rave or something…(rambling on like u guys, sorry…)
Thanx,
