Assoication is the description of the effects felt by the human body following a lack of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It seems that not every breath of air is formed equal, making it occasionally possible to inhale a puff lacking in the usual carbon dioxide and nitrogen content.
Those who have suffered from assoication have described its effects, which appear to be confined mainly to the terminal, prehensile part of the upper limbs, the hands, as consisting of spasms and uncontrollability.
People suffering from assoication often go unharmed from the phenomenon itself, but often cause themselves injury or embarrassment from the effects. Silly gestures are made publicly, hands are trapped in doors and windows, typos are made at work and places are groped mistakenly.
