In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Another thing that scares me is that among the 11,785 infected participants, 4692 (39.8%) were “ME/CFS-like, w/ at least one ME/CFS symptom.” My friends & I talk often about how we were “ME/CFS-like” for years before we got sick enough to actually meet the criteria
