Tuberculosis and consumption are the same thing. It was also called White Plague, mal de vivir, and mal du siècle once upon a time.

[followyouthere]

They are? Why was it called the White Plague? Was there a really bad epidemic of it?

[cheesewithwine]

Oui. It was just a common name at the time. There was, it was truly horrible.

[followyouthere]

What happened? Er. If you don't mind me asking.

Cool. I'll be over in a second.

[Yeah. She's not even giving him time to respond, clicking the phone down and knocking at his door a few minutes later.]

[She looks similar, rumpled and tired.]

Hey. Hope I'm not bother you or anything. You kinda look like shit.

[weiss_tank]

Tuberculosis? Er, I think we mainly call it TB where I'm from, but it's really not that common anymore. I hear it used to be really a problem though.

[followyouthere]

So if it's not that common anymore for your world, was a cure found?

[weiss_tank]

I dunno, honestly I don't know too much about the disease. Sorry, I just haven't heard of it much back home.

[followyouthere]

It's kinda common where I'm from, but I don't know if it's at all the same, you know? Different worlds and whatever. Thanks for taking the time to answer, though.

[SUP PYROBRO have a hippie pausing in his walk to amble over in your general direction since it's obviously been too long since he's hassled a fellow fire-user.]

Everything's back in order with your abilities, I see.

[followyouthere]

[HEY HIPPIEBRO

Looks up from her work to raise an eyebrow.]

Yeah, it's working again. Hi.

[discoinfernorz]

Hello. Mind if I join you? [yeah he's already pretty much up on your porch already anyway. what is personal space.]

[followyouthere]

[Margot greatly enjoys her personal space and now IT'S BEING TAKEN OVER ARGH.] I guess not.

Lung cancer and tuberculosis? Do you have a friend here who's suffering from one of those...?

[followyouthere]

Consumption is big back home and I guess it and tuberculosis are the same thing, so... Someone had suggested maybe it was lung cancer, but I'm thinking he was wrong.

[saviorofkorugar]

There are vaccines for tuberculosis, though if someone is already infected, that won't do much good. Antibiotics are usually the standard method of treatment, depending on how advanced the case is.

[followyouthere]

How well do the antibiotics work? Like, as far as extending life goes and all of that. Does it get rid of it completely, either?
