Possibly. Hermann's condition itself is nerve related--for his sake, I'll stop my explanation of it there--but I think the paralysis was purely in his head as a result of the gas, which triggered a worst-case fear and his body responded. Maybe my body responded with sympathy pains? I don't know. It wasn't nearly the level of what he was experiencing.
I'm really thinking it was just Hermann, that it was a specialized fear. I don't know if I like that or hate that option.
