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.
Description. The striped skunk is about the size of a house cat, with a large deep body, small head, and short legs. The hair is long and black, with a broad patch of white on its head and shoulders. Two white lines forming a âVâ from the shoulder area may extend part way or all of the way to the base of the bushy tail.
