Is system tweaking an official illness?
Yes, but it's not extremely contagious. It seems only a few have the genetic makeup to succumb to it. It's rarely fatal but there is no cure. You can only learn to manage your illness and try to live a relatively normal life.
In medieval times, some physicians believed that you could catch a disease by looking at a sick person. Many modern day physicians discount the theory for this particular malady but do claim that you run the risk of infection by listening to another sick person's sound equipment. Simply reading about other peoples sound equipment is enough to act as a sort of reverse placebo which tricks the mind into lowering the bodies natural immune system and then you run a much greater risk of catching the disease when g exposed to sound equipment.
