Subject: New contamination
Recent studies conducted on “delirium tremens” indicate that in certain cases this can be transmitted amongst humans. We foresee a possible contamination in most areas of London. Cases have already been reported in Hammersmith & Fulham (13), Westminster (12), Hampstead (24), Merton (19), Acton (12) and more recently in Kensington & Chelsea (39).
It was observed that the subjects examined were regular consumers of wine. Most (97.6%) of the subjects would encounter serious problems with their vision when having gone without wine for 1 to 2 days on average.
Extended periods without wine would seriously affect the individuals reading capabilities. The subjects would also feel a trembling sensation. In extreme cases, individuals would start to hallucinate and see coloured specks when staring at an object for extended periods.
If you encounter any such patients having these symptoms, please contact the Crisis Centre in London immediately.
Our research to date has resulted in only one certain cure: consumption of wine every day.
Please pass this document on to everyone you believe at risk.
