Most Mass Hysteria in history is caused by something of great concern, such as a great plague or pillaging of a region. However, sometimes in various examples, it is created by something that can seem petty in general. An Anime music video Titled "Mio Honda - Step" (commonly refereed to as the Mio Honda Fried Chicken video) has been reported in at least 3 psych ward cases over the last 6 months. Mental health experts say a pattern like this is commonly associated with mass hysteria. Amidst the ongoing Corona virus (COVID-19) crisis, which experts from several of the facilities of housed patients that were affected by the video that say has a role in the patients case, 2 more cases of psych ward patients in admission have been associated with the video and it's addictive attributes.

Samuel Hyde, the Mental Health course professor at the University of Montana had this to comment about the video at a mental health conference in Helena this Tuesday:

"Examination of graphics and audio patterns from the music video have signs of which trigger a hyper-arousal response; which is typical with a flight or fight response in human males within the ages of 16-28. Testing confirms the video causes neurological triggers which can lead to addiction, and furthermore mass hysteria if experienced within closely knit groups, such as an anime fan group, which 1 case has confirmed to have been involved with."

A released patient from one of the mental wards, who asked not to be named, commented this about the video in an email. A segment from the email explaining the effects of the video is as quoted:

"That video is like nicotine. It is addictive and makes you crave it, and the only way to feel good again is to listen again.... and watch. Even if I were stressed, I would go straight to the video for comfort. Just like cigarettes or some (explicit)."

To us, It seems young adults, who are typically introverted and are generally under stress, are vulnerable to the video's effects. Otherwise, it is what it is intended to be - a positive, cute, foreign children music video for all. All patients mentioned in this article - except for one, whose facility has not responded for comment, are confirmed to be improving and are showing signs of progress in limiting their obsession with the video. One has been released.

Viewing of the video is not recommended for anyone who may be listed under any of these faults.
