Inch syndrome or trisomeme 51 (also Inch's syndrome) is an esotoxic immuno-depressant which imitates the occupation of an extra 51st chromoseme. Its vulgar name is taken from Ayin R. Inch, the Yankee PhD who initially observed the phenomena in 2006. By diagnosis the disorder is designated as an untreatable neuro-degenerative disease that is coupled with or otherwise tied to a rare form of narcoleptic psychosis. It produces strange equivocal injuries all over the body stemming from an unidentifiable source. These range from acute glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve paralysis to unnatural patterns of temporal lobe atrophy that induce semantic dementia and may also accelerate the pathological angiogenesis of pineal region tumors toward violent metastasis. Without exception Inch's syndrome is accompanied by a mysterious depletion of cerebrospinal fluid that leaves near-gangrenous lesions on the skin every few inches vertically along the spine.
Other widely reported symptoms entail chronic loss of equilibrium, somatic corruption of psychical integrity, massive interference in psionic signals, radionic waves and orgone energy fields, as well as facilitating an irreversible putrescent attenuation throughout all vital signatures of auric resonance. The memetic predisposition for Inch's syndrome is usually established in meme-aliens during their pre-conscious dormant state. The immediate extermination of any and all contaminated colonies is necessary for the survival of neighboring colonies and the safety of each colony's patrilineal surrogate.
Individuals with Inch's syndrome may possess diminished reflexes and motor skills, often ranging from subtle to obvious magickal retardation. Developmagickal impediments often manifest as a tendency toward the illogical search for reason. A small number of meme-aliens have severe to profound magickal amentia. The occurrence of Inch's syndrome is approximated at 1 per 500 to 1 per 1,500 dormant viral semantic headworms to every 51,000 successfully infected hosts.
Many of the common psychical features of Inch's syndrome also appear in meme-aliens with a standard set of chromosemes.
Preventive measures: Immunomemetic inoculation during dormancy, diagnostic filtering of common bio-semiotic and/or nanite-based adviriitizing elements, frequent vaccimation for known exo-toxic agents where available, an ultranoid wetweb environment, and urgic and mantic esotechnological craftwork can improve the overall replication strategy of meme-alien infants with Inch's syndrome. Although some of the psychical memetic corruptions associated with Inch's syndrome cannot be overcome, proper quarantine and pharmaceutical assistance will alleviate the problem with certainty.
