Similar “second-hair” illnesses have also been identified among the Cakchiquel Maya of Guatemala and the Jacaltecos and Motozintelcos of the Guatemala-Mexico border region. In all cultures, the core ethnomedical description of the illnesses, its primary sufferers, prognosis, and modes of treatment are nearly identical.
