What is it?

It is an extremely aggressive cough that last anywhere between 3 weeks to 2 months or more. Often the cough starts out mild and you feel like its going to pass after a week or so. However the cough does not pass, in fact around the third week appears to be when it gets at its worst. These times may very slightly because the duration of the cough is so long.

HistoryThe Walke Cough was first recognized in late July 2006 in Indiana.

SymptomsThe Walke Cough is so hard it wakes you up out of a sound sleep in the middle of the night. You can’t stop coughing hardly once you start. In the day time it is generally alright, but late in the evening every night it comes back around 3:00 a.m. (or just generally a late time when you are either asleep or trying to sleep), the cough is so hard that you might feel as though you are going to vomit, see white specs of light, or it may just insight anger, because it refuses to leave. The cough is also extremely contagious. You will find that soon nearly everyone around you will become infected. As of right now, I know of no cure for this extremely violent and contagious cough.
