"...when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another Heaven and another Earth must pass before such a one can be again." -William Beebe SPECIAL ALERTS Tennessee Fainting Goat The goats of this breed have a host of names: Myotonic, Tennessee Fainting, Tennessee Meat, Texas Wooden Leg, Stiff, Nervous, and Scare goats. The names refer to a breed characteristic known as myotonia congenita, a condition in which the muscle cells experience prolonged contraction when the goat is startled. The transitory stiffness associated with these contractions can cause the goat to fall down. This is not a true faint, but a muscular phenomenon unrelated to the nervous system. The degree of stiffness varies from goat to goat, with some showing a consistently stiff response and others exhibiting stiffness only rarely. The breed's history can be traced back to the 1880s. An itinerant farm laborer named John Tinsley came to central Tennessee, reputedly from Nova Scotia. Tinsley had with him four unusual, stiff goats. Goats of this type gradually became known across the region. They were less apt to climb fences and escape from pastures than other goats, and their muscular conformation and high reproductive rate were also valued. Farmers began to appreciate them, and the numbers of "stiff," "nervous," or "fainting" goats increased. During the 1950s, some Tennessee Fainting goats were taken to the hill country of central Texas. They were further selected for meat qualities, including larger size, and came to be known as "Wooden Leg" goats.

EAST MOLINE, Illinois (CNN) President Bush scraped and bruised after a fainting spell extolled motherhood on Monday as another symbol of American patriotism, and gave the John Deere workers he addressed a lighthearted lesson to chew on. "If my mother is listening, mother, I should have listened to you: Always chew your pretzels before you swallow," Bush said jokingly. Bush lost consciousness for a brief time in the White House on Sunday evening while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television. He fell from his couch and has a scrape and large bruise on his left cheekbone, plus a bruise on his lower lip, to show for his troubles. His glasses cut the side of his face.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Sanjay Gupta: Fainting a common problem CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta (CNN) What could have caused President Bush to collapse Sunday while eating pretzels and watching a football game at the White House? CNN's Paula Zahn talked to medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta on Monday to shed light on the causes of fainting. ZAHN: Talk to us a little bit about what would cause the president to faint and what does a pretzel have to do with it, if anything? GUPTA: It is actually a pretty common problem. Something that could occur when people are scared of something. Sometimes cramping in the intestines can do this. Sometimes violent coughing can do this. MORE STORIES Bush: 'I feel great' after fainting episode We are talking about vasovagal response. The name is not as important as what it does. What it is actually is a reflex in this case possibly brought on by heavy coughing, which can stimulate a nerve to stimulate the heart to lower the blood pressure and lower the heart rate. A change in heart rhythm and dehydration could also possibly do it. Apparently, the president was feeling a little under the weather over the weekend that could have led to a little bit of dehydration. That in combination with the violent coughing episode surrounding eating the pretzel could have caused him to faint. It is a pretty common thing, and [doctors] see it a lot in emergency rooms and hospitals, but oftentimes it is just an isolated event and does not come back.

Like any proud parent, farmer Gene McNutt says his "kids" have a hidden talent - and it's unique enough that the county has built an entire festival around it. The Goats, Music and More Festival is expected to bring throngs to the area the weekend of October 11th. McNutt says the condition that causes his goats to become stiff-legged and keel over doesn't hurt the animals, but it has made them a tourist attraction. Whenever they're startled the goats just drop and, after a few minutes on the ground, eventually regain their equilibrium.

Resources If a person is feeling faint, unconsciousness may be prevented by sitting with the head between the knees, as shown in the illustration above, or by lying flat with the legs raised. Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition Fainting is loss of consciousness caused by a temporary lack of oxygen to the brain. Known by the medical term "syncope," fainting may be preceded by dizziness , nausea, or a feeling of extreme weakness. Description When a person faints, the loss of consciousness is brief. The person will wake up as soon as normal blood flow is restored to the brain. Blood flow is usually restored by lying flat for a short time. This position puts the head on the same level as the heart so that blood flows more easily to the brain. A fainting episode may be completely harmless and of no significance, but it can be a symptom of a serious underlying disorder. No matter how trivial it seems, a fainting episode should be treated as a medical emergency until the cause is determined. Causes and symptoms Extreme pain , fear, or stress may bring on fainting. This type of fainting is caused by overstimulation of the vagus nerve, a nerve connected to the brain that helps control breathing and circulation. In addition, a person who stands still or erect for too long may faint. This type of fainting occurs because blood pools in the leg veins, reducing the amount that is available for the heart to pump to the brain. This type of fainting is quite common in older people or those taking drugs to treat high blood pressure.
