Elephant Titis

it is actually a disease of a human getting thickening of skin and underlaying tissue of his legs. because of the symptom makes the person's leg looks like elephant leg, therefore people calls it ELEPHANT-titis.
it actually caused by a parasite and the disease is known as lymphatic filariasis. i think the parasite is carried by mosquitoes. mostly found in tropical, rural area. at first, people think it has to do with something 'supernatural' as they (village people) don't know what causes the leg looks like elephant. when i was a kid, i've heard people telling things like: mother killed elephant during her pregnancy, so the child get an elephant leg... or the mother scared by an elephant, therefore, child looks like elephant.... etc.
no, elephant will NEVER get elephantitis --- they already got elephant leg, ha!

Can and do, my friend. The British Government has chartered seven of them to evacuate all the Brits on their backs from Beruit by walking across the Med to Cyprus.

I don't think so
The term elphantitis came about because when humans got the condition they looked like elephants (like the legs etc became all big and swollen right)
