7 Tuberculosis (1/2)

”Alice!”

I ran to help my sister. There I glanced at the blood and took the opportunity to touch the area under her tits. This time I didn't try to do anything perverted, I was checking the state of her lungs from some acupuncture points.

As I expected, it is this disease. My semen could heal it, but I don't have the time.

It is true that my semen is miraculous and can cure any disease, but it cannot heal a this kind of heavy illness from a single ejaculation. My sister's illness is even worse because even with all the intelligence of my former world, it took between 6 and 9 months to heal.

Tuberculosis, that was the disease that affected my sister.

This disease was known throughout history as tisis, king's disease, or white plague. Although it is estimated to be about 20,000 years old, it is accepted that the microorganism that originates it evolved from other more primitive microorganisms within the genus Mycobacterium itself.

In other words, it could be said that tuberculosis is a primordial disease that has been killing living beings for millions and millions of years.

Once on earth, I studied that a third of the world's population is infected with this disease, but fortunately, only five percent of these infections progress to active disease. The other ninety-five percent remain dormant or inactive and don't transmit the disease.

Knowing the tremendous infectious capacity of this disease, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole family were infected right now. Fortunately, most cases do not manifest themselves.

In fact, what makes tuberculosis so terrifying is not the disease itself, since it is infrequent for someone to get sick because of this bacterium. It's so dreadful because of the high compatibility it has with another significant illness, HIV.

It is now accepted as the oldest endemic affecting humanity, that produced by tuberculosis, and the most recent pandemic in the human species that originated by HIV are uniting their pathogenic effects in such a way that they are already the first cause of death in large areas of the earth.

But let's leave this issue because it doesn't matter much with my sister.

My sister Alice is an example of active tuberculosis. The symptoms (cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss, etc.) may be mild for many months, so it may go unnoticed.

Sailing through Theo's memories, it didn't take me long to discover that my sister has been carrying these symptoms for a few months now.

The surprise comes here; this is the first time that Theo or I have seen my sister cough up blood. My sister's illness is still curable, as it has not reached a critical state.

The problem is how to treat the disease. With all the technology of the earth, the cure time for tuberculosis was around six and nine months. In this low-level village, how could I treat my sister's disease?

Semen treatment is out of the question. It wasn't the first time I had treated a tuberculosis disease using this method, but I still had to spend a month fucking the patient to cure the disease. In this case, I don't have a month's time.

It looks like I'm going to have to use my real oriental medicine skills. I still have the whole day, so I will treat my sister once I have time with her alone.

My sister leaned on my arms. She was clearly weak, and the sweat was falling down her forehead, it was clear that her condition was not good.

”Don't worry. It's nothing.” Alice muttered.

”Cough-cough”
