1 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes demyelination (disruption of the myelin that insulates and protects nerve cells) of spinal nerve and brain cells.  Although the exact case is unknown, multiple sclerosis is considered to be an autoimmune disease.
The skunk is not a rodent. They belong to the family Mephitidae and the order Carnivora which does not include rodentia. They are sometimes placed in the family Mustelidae (weasels) but have been discovered to be less related than was thought.
Five species of skunks are found in Texas, but you probably won't ever meet one kind â the hooded skunk â unless you live in the Big Bend region. It is considered a Mexican species and has been seen only in Brewster, Presidio, Jeff Davis, Terrell, and Val Verde counties.
