were a kid, and the parasite you
got bit with and introduced into your body by a tick when you
were camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when you were a kid,
and then it got inside, that parasite
got inside your pancreas,
you would develop by the

old, you would start developing
juvenile diabetes symptoms.
