Chronic fatigue syndrome in animals
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Veterinarian Walter Tarello has investigated animals illnesses that appear similar to chronic fatigue syndrome. Several of these studies look at treatment with arsenic compound thiacetarsamide sodium.[1][2][3][4] Tarello has hypothesized possible zoonotic features of human ME/CFS, as he and his wife, who works with him, were both diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).[5]
