    Three pill treatment for sleeping sickness caused by the tsetse fly.

    It’s funny, like, my mom was always terrified of getting sleeping sickness and hated it any time we slept more than eight hours because she was like, oh my god, you have sleeping sickness. It must have terrified her as a child when she heard of it, not knowing that you have to pretty much go to fucking Africa to get it.

      Not really, because the article gives more details. You just summarized the headline, not the article. But yeah, I grew up being talked to about sleeping sickness too! I always wondered why, cuz hey, I get to sleep more? cool! lol

        They explained the click bait headline. That’s what people usually mean when they write saved you a click.

        Of course there is more to an article then just the headline.
