Also known as consumption, tuberculosis or TB is a common and deadly infectious disease caused by mycobacteria. It attacks the lungs and respiratory system, but can also attack the central nervous system, the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, the genitourinary system, bones, joints and even the skin.
Symptoms include chest pains, coughing blood, prolonged coughing, chills, night sweats, pallor, lose of appetite, weight lose, and easy fatigue. Though tuberculosis is not known for being especially contagious, it can be rather easy to transmit, since TB is spread through infected aerosols via coughing, spitting, speaking, kissing, and sneezing. Tuberculosis attacks everybody differently. While it can take months to years for the TB infection to become the TB disease in some people, it can easily become the full flight disease in some people in a matter of weeks.
If left untreated, TB causes death. (duh)
Since tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria, treatment is available via antibiotics, though there is currently no vaccine for adults.
Due to medicial attention toward HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis has resurged.

On a lighter note, tuberculosis is probably the most overused disease found in historical manga/anime.

Get the tuberculosis mug.a tv series where the central characters have the ability to manipulate the classical elements (water, fire, earth, air/wind, and aether/metal depending on the culture). some series include extra elements, such as ice, spirit, darkness, light, thunder, metal, etc.
in the series, the elementalists must battle an evil, and when one element is absent, they usually cannot carry out their objective. they are strongest when united.
also, each character's personality is usually reflected on their element. ex: fire is rash and impulsive; water is calm and collective; earth is nurturing and loyal; air is inquisitive and curious

Unfortunately for me, Tamahome and Miaka have the hots for each other so my anime self has no chance with him. but thats just creatively speaking. -_-

a very serious STD caused by the retrovirus HIV. it can be transmitted by semen, breastmilk, blood and vaginal fluid. u cannot get it from huggin or kissin or shakin hands. AIDS eventually kills of ur white blood cells and when they go, ur immune system goes. technically, AIDS doesnt kill u. its the sickness u get when ur immune system is destroyed (like the cold or the flu. in the 80s and early 90s when the disease was first discovered (i think), ppl thought is was only transmitted through homosexuals and that it was a curse on them. its not though. it can be transmitted to homos, straight ppl and even lil babies...
although new medicine and technology help expand the life span for AIDS patients, there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS.

i still have hope that man will find the cure for AIDS and all of these diseases. in the meantime, u shouldnt discriminate against ppl who have it. its hard enough for them as it is so lay off!

Get the elementalist mug.A fan fic that is particularly dark in atmosphere and has disturbing concepts. Is usually full of angst, torment, depression, violence, rage, abuse, insanity, sorrow, horror... Lots of negativity.
Dark fics are based off of series that have a brighter, happier mood, or just have too much humor in it.
It wouldn't really make sense to base a dark fic off of a dark series.
