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.

another version of a social butterfly, only in this case the subject (moth) wants everyone to like him/her only they get the opposite reaction e.g. nobody likes them. This indvidual may or may not have a whorish lifestyle, which may or may not be effective due to their typically under-managed hygiene, particularly in the oral region.
Guy 1: Did you see that guy? He wants to be friends with everyone, but nobody likes him.
Guy 2: Ohhh, he's just a social moth. Nobody likes moths...

ehhhhhhh its like heaven AND hell. like heaven, u live there with eternal life and ur not punished....well, if u were GOOD in life before the coming of christ. like hell, it is a part of hell and u cant get upgraded to heaven (before christ neway) cuz its for ppl who never experienced christianity (like aborted babies and babies who died before babtism). many protestants label Catholics as being ppl who damn nethin and neone to an eternity in hell if they do not live to christian expectations, but the Catholics believe that God will show mercy on babies and other unbabtized children by sending them to limbo.
basically, it doesnt have the beautification like heaven, but it has the eternal bliss part.
