A mysterious illness called 'Dinga Dinga,' meaning "shaking like dancing," has affected around 300 people, primarily women and girls, in Uganda's Bundibugyo district. The disease is characterized by uncontrollable body tremors, fever, extreme weakness, and severe paralysis, making mobility difficult for those infected. Health officials are actively investigating the cause of this outbreak, with patient samples sent for analysis, while local treatments with antibiotics have shown promising recovery within a week.
