CIPA, not a virus but a disease

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA) is a disease and not a contagious virus. Many people avoid CIPA Patients who should not, usually saying that it is scary to associate with such a sick person because they do not feel sick. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhydrosis (CIPA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the nervous system which prevents the feeling of pain or temperature, and prevents a person from sweating. ... CIPA is the fourth type of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN), and is also known as HSAN IV. They can feel pressure, but not pain, so they are likely to injure or mutilate themselves without meaning to. They might know they slammed their hand in the door, it just doesn't hurt. This inability to feel physical pain does not extend to emotional pain - people with CIPA feel emotional pain just like anyone else. There are not simple X-ray tests or blood tests that can identify CIPA. Some people who have CIPA have abnormally underdeveloped nerves and a lack of sweat glands on a biopsy. The most definitive diagnostic test for CIPA is a genetic test, which can be done before birth or during childhood or adulthood. Based on research there are only 300 people with CIPA worldwide and there is a chance of 000000000.1 percent being cured. To this day it has never been cured because besides it is rare the most probable cause of its existence being hereditary. This is a very dangerous disease because they do not know how far their body can go. Such people should not be taken aback but they should still be helped because as we are both experiencing what we are not experiencing we should make them feel that they are not alone in their fight.
