Mitzi Mizray:
Latah is a disease of the mind where the "startle
reflex" is exaggerated. When a person with latah
becomes startled they will stay that way for a half
hour. A person with latah who is startled will be
have in ways they usually wouldn't if they knew what
they were doing. (cursing, singing out loud,
undressing in public...) It was Malaysia where that
is a problem. Interesting, huh?
