Other symptoms also match up, including that “Rabies victims frequently exhibit hydrophobia […] because it is painful to swallow” (Poe’s Death Is Rewritten as Case if Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol 302). Poe not remembering who any of his relatives were, let alone noticing them, is a strong example of memory loss.

The first couple of years were not easy for the settlers. The question is Why did so many colonist die? To start off with, one of the problems they faced was environmental problems. Many of Jamestown’s colonist died because of brackish water which was some salty water due to the mixture of fresh and salt water, because of the tides that would happen twice daily.

There is a lot of scientific research being put into finding what causes it and finding a cure for it, but as of right now there is no cure, and no knowledge of what causes it besides the 10% of the cases that are genetic defects. Even in those cases that are caused by genetic defects they don’t know what causes the genetic defects. ALS is a very terrible disease that causes great suffering, and it needs to have a cure found.
Orcas, in captivity, are likely to suffer multiple health problems, not only from disease, but from other Orcas whom they share their tanks with. Most Orcas are kept in chlorinated pools which causes their skin to become very dry, and irritable. (Blackfish) The tanks they are kept in have higher temperatures and barely enough room for the Orcas to swim which results in dorsal fin collapse. Thirty to one-hundred percent of captive, most being male, Orcas have dorsal fin collapse. (Blackfish) The tanks can also cause Orcas to become violent to one another.
