113 Diagnosis

So. You like cute.

How about tularemia? That one is just delightful. See, it's an infectious disease that can be transferred from dead rabbit tissue through an open would or saliva. Or even bunny droppings. This rascal of a disease creates ulcers, inflames glands and can last beyond four weeks. Not cute?

Aww. What about Powassan? It's got a 60% survival rate, it's symptoms are simple enough to be confused with many other conditions that it being disorientation, sleepiness and in some casses semicomatose state of being. Couldn't you just die? Yes. Yes you could. I can't even keep up the sarcastic cute stuff. Seriously, don't you people ever use your brains? This doesn't even cover rabies or ticks. Who really goes out to grab animals because they can?

Do you think so? Rats. The window the poll the audience is closing rapidly.

I consider it a comforting possibility, since... personally, I can't imagine trusting any animal the City's decided to conjure.

...certainly not one that bursts into flame.

My point exactly. Why are people surprised there could be darker consequences?

Well, most people aren't aware of the variety of ways they can pick up exciting diseases - which you know, because if they were, you'd probably be bored a lot more frequently.

But even if they are, people do things that they know are stupid and risky all the time - and here, it's not as if there's much they can trust. So, they're trying to grab onto whatever they can to make themselves happy, and not worrying about what can and probably will go wrong because sometimes, they need to take a chance.

It's understandable, but... in this particular instance, I would be one of the last people to say it's a good idea. Which is why I'm going to continue hoping t was all part of the curse.
