The World Health Organization is monitoring homunculus infection as a cause of people acting in blatant disregard for others without ay show of remorse.

What is Homunculus?

Homunculus is a miniaturized version of man, first discovered by Paracelsus in the 15th century.

Historically, homunculus was found living inside testicles, horses’ wombs, or quaint Dutch villages, but modern homunculus can be found wherever humans live.

Why are homunculi infecting our brains?

AI lead gentrification, compounded by the housing shortage and the rising living cost, is seen as the leading cause of homunculus infection.

As Artificial Intelligence appears in the area traditionally occupied by homunculus, homunculi find no choice but to go back to where they were originally conceived, the human brain.

Who is likely to be infected with homunculus?

While homunculus infection used to be more common in adolescents, causing them to behave like degenerates, studies show the recent wave of infection affects adults as much as adolescents.

Since 2016, when homunculus infection was brought to public attention through high-profile cases, the disease has continued to be widespread among politicians and influencers.

Homunculi are known to prefer spacious environments. People with the following pre-existing conditions, therefore, have a higher risk of attracting homunculus.

What are the Symptoms of Homunculus Infection?

Symptoms of homunculus infection, which can vary from person to person, might include:

Treatment

There’s no consensus on treatment for homunculus infection. Patients are advised to hydrate well to alleviate symptoms. In France, doctors recommend drinking seltzer just to mess with the homunculus.

Experimental treatment— while there is no widely accepted cure, clinics around the world are combating homunculus infection with experimental treatments. Recently, a patient in South Korea was able to extract a family of four homunculi ‘parasite style’ by listening to Baby Shark for six hours straight.

Can you kill homunculus?

While tapioca powder is known to be fatal to a homunculus, experts advise luring it out of your head alive than killing it, due to the risk known as the homunculus fallacy, where homunculi live inside a homunculus in infinite regression.
