They mentioned that Todd named it after Lewis Carroll who fabricated the story of "Alice in Wonderland". The disease was named after the story because the character Alice fell into an abyss that was a portal to another world where eating and drinking can make you miniature or gargantuan. The effect of AIWS is similar. It can stimulate headaches and visual perceptions such as…
