Curling Fever has peaked, says NHS

The NHS is seeing early signs that Curling Fever may have peaked. Hospital admissions for the condition, although still high, are beginning to fall.

A spokes-virus said, 'Curling Fever is an unusual condition. Serious outbreaks occur every four years or so, but infections in between are quite rare, except in Scotland. For a while, many doctors brushed off patients, saying that it wasn’t a genuine medical condition.'

However, there is no denying the impact on sufferers, who often arrive at A&E with physical injuries from punching a wall, or having been struck by a television screen moving at some velocity. Patients can also experience mental trauma, including anxiety, stress and depression. Symptoms can often emerge slowly. Patients initially present as withdrawn and stony faced, but can fly off the handle at short notice, if someone presses their buttons.

Luckily, Curling Fever is easily treated. Most sufferers can be distracted by watching a children’s film (but not Polar Express, Frozen or Happy Feet), or rugby game (unless Welsh).
