Narcolepsy After Insect or Animal Bites

When I spoke at last October's Narcolepsy Network Conference in Dallas, I mentioned a case of narcolepsy following an insect bite. After my talk, two parents came up to me reporting similar onsets in their children. Unfortunately, I neglected to get contact information from these parents. I also wonder whether any other patients in the Network have had a similar onset. If you know of such cases please contact me at JSiegel@ucla.edu or by telephone at 818-891-8612. Investigation of such onsets may help us better understand and treat narcolepsy.

Thank you so much for your help.
