Although the exact causes are unknown, there is thought to be some correlation towards extensive and prolonged anti-vandalism activity. The mystery is that this disease is not only found in humans, but in all the creatures of the planet (even in things created by humans, the most common cases being cars and refrigerators, although the symptoms found in machines vary significantly from the ones that appear in humans) (except plants (yet)), and the way these things are showing the symptoms of adminitis is yet unknown. Adminitis is being studied by very many scientists (especially doctors) but the results from these studies only confuse the situation. It has been ranked the most dangerous disease in the entire Wikiverse by the Community Health Initiative.
