Symptoms include uncontrollable shaking, high fever, extreme weakness, and in severe cases, paralysis-like immobility. The illness impairs mobility, making basic movements like walking impossible for some patients. The cause of Dinga Dinga remains unknown, as health experts have not identified its source.
