I’m afraid it could be many reasons, no one knows why they specifically get it, it could be for any reason such as: Hereditary, autoimmune, life style, diet, genetic coding or simply very bad luck. The important thing is to remember it isn’t anybodys fault but keep close to your loved ones as they will be as afraid as you and you will all be each others support system
