Flaccid paralysis (pronounced /ˈflæksɪd pəˈræləsɪs/) a clinical manifestation characterized by weakness or paralysis and reduced muscle tone without other obvious cause (e.g., trauma).[1]
Impotence impotence is where the male fails to achive an erection.(Keagan Boi) the term flacid can be used to describe a mans impotent penis. keagans penis is soft and limp because jack barnett kegged him in the bakery and it wasnt erect so keagan must be impotent because he loves cake and he was surrounded by cakes and ice slices.keagan wasnt happy with this out burst and was deaply upset. to ease the pain keagan comfort eat and jack laughed at a distance. whilst calling him soft and limp like his impotent chode. speaking of chodes jack barnett has 1.

Causes
Polio
The term acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is often used to describe a sudden onset, as might be found with polio.
AFP is the most common sign of acute polio, and used for surveillance during polio outbreaks. AFP is also associated with a number of other pathogenic agents including enteroviruses, echoviruses, and adenoviruses, among others.[2]
Botulism
The Clostridium botulinum bacteria are the cause of botulism. Vegetative cells of C. botulinum may be ingested. Introduction of the bacteria may also occur via endospores in a wound. When the bacteria is in vivo, they induce flaccid paralysis. This happens because C. botulinum produces a toxin which blocks the release of acetylcholine. When this occurs, the muscles are unable to contract.[3]
Other
Flaccid paralysis can be associated with a lower motor neuron lesion. This is in contrast to a upper motor neuron lesion, which often presents with spastic paralysis. Included in AFP's list are Poliomyelitis, Transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, enteroviral encephalopathy [4], traumatic neuritis, Reye's syndrome etc. An AFP Surveillance programme is conducted to increase case yield of poliomyelitis. This includes collection of 2 stool samples within 14 days of onset of paralysis and identification of virus. and control of the outbreak and strengthening immunisation in that area.
