Oh. Yeah. I wasn't saying in my first comment that it is always transmittable but suggesting the possibility is there. No it isn't like a virus in the sense that you can narrow it down to an organism but there is no doubt in my mind that we can effect each other at a most basic level. Pre disposition is certainly a possibility but I'm not sure that is a requirement either. Let's face it, we really don't know. I think a lot of MI is simply culture defined anyway.
