Counting Flu

Counting flu is a very rare disease, only contracted by Count von Count and individuals who are related to him.

Its sole symptom is extreme dizziness followed by a brief loss of consciousness whenever the afflicted individual counts (either mentally or out loud) or hears another person counting. This symptom may also come on if the afflicted receives information that they strongly dislike (for instance, the Count got dizzy and lost consciousness upon hearing that the cure for his flu was to abstain from counting) but this is inconsistent as evidenced by the fact that the Count heard other bad news in the same episode and experienced no adverse symptoms. The cure is to abstain from counting for a whole day.

In Episode 2809, the Count contracted it. He had trouble abstaining from counting and had to take a nap in order to do so, but eventually, he recovered.
