Earth's Tourette syndrome (presumably what Turret syndrome is based on) is a naturally-occuring genetic disorder. Given the Vykkers' scientific knowledge, the ADD experiments could be genetic or chemical or a combination of both. Bolamites are genetically enhanced, as I say. I don't know why. Maybe industrials boil Bolamites alive to extract the webbing, as humans do to silk worms, and the stronger webbing will benefit industry.
