I'm wondering if anyone else has seen cases of ALS that show characteristics of a contagious disease. I know every scientific source I have read lists ALS as absolutely not contagious, but I have also come across a couple cases in my area where BOTH PARENTS of a child has been diagnosed with ALS. If this is by coincidence alone, the odds are much less than 1 in a million, I believe. This cannot be explained by FALS since the two are unrelated.
I'm not trying to spread false information or anything. Don't panic or spread rumors due to this post; I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this and what they're thoughts are. My Dad was recently diagnosed with ALS, though, and it would definitely be unfortunate if contagious components of the disease were found.
