Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. transmitted from person to person? Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. contagious? What are the routes of contagion? People with experience in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. help solve this question.
I think that depends on the cause. In my case Epstein Barr Virus is transmitted by saliva & I believe, by blood as that is how it shows up in tests. (I do not donate blood & have retracted my post death organ donations).
I do not know. I have not heard of any recent incidents although if you watch Forgotten Plague a documentary you will learn about outbreaks of illness that led to many MECFS cases.
There are massive debates about this, due to historical reportings of “outbreaks” of “yupee flu”. But no, there’s been no real, backed up with evidence, suggestion that it is contagious at all.
Again a question no one has clear answer too its possibly contageous as viruss are and it needs research to get the answers
But we cannot donate blood or organs
We do not know, but there are congenital cases
outbreaks and clusters
so I would say it is infectious
not sure about the manner of transport, but
blood would be like
and we are told not to donate blood or organs for transplant

LBL did study of CO2 in air on thought and finds quite surprisingly, thought gets much worse if CO2 in outside air of 400ppmv, goes up from exhaled breath at 40,000 ppm, to raise room ambient to 1000ppmv or greater.
