I feel sorry for a friend who has developed Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome? It is a form of "herpes zoster" virus affecting the facial nerve associated with facial paralysis and loss of taste.
In fact, everyone could possibly develop this kind of illness. Following an attack of chikenpox in the early stage of life, the virus lays dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. When one grows old with weaker immune system, the virus migrates down the sensory nerve and may affect the Parotid gland which controls the facial nerves. the person affected cannot close one of his eyes and his mouth dangles.
I have found the video below " I can't smile" making fun of this illness.
