Uh...no. Experimental procedure using engineered proteins to inhibit certain synthase that interfere with the cholinergic synapses in the nervous system. Since the proteins are known to cause a histemic reaction in the body, it's not uncommon for patients to experience inflammation in organs with a high proportion of cholinergic cells...the brain and spinal cord, basically. So essentially, the treatment "causes" a non-infectious meningitis, which although not fatal is very painful and debilitating.
Not that LA knows jack sh-- about it, I'm sure. He's just using it as a convenient joke.
