They implied it leads to permenant insanity if not immediately treated (as was the case when Alfred was infected by it on April Fool's Day).

As opposed to simply dying of exhaustion due to the laughing.

It's not implied, it's directly stated that if left untreated, it will lead to permanent insanity
