@literallyjohngreen: Replying to @modernmagecraft is consumption tuberculosis? PS as she was sick with consumption, charlotte bronte wrote “i am aware that consumption is a flattering malady.”
Beautifully said. You could be a writer, you really have a way with words

When I was a kid and read that Keats died of consumption I thought it meant he died from over eating 🤦♀️

I knew they were the same, but I'm always surprised at how romanticized it once was...

Is there still a genetic component? Like my dad shows up as TB exposed bc his mom had it but he never had it

My bf’s initials are TB, so I call him Consumption as a term of endearment. ☺️

I always thought it was interesting that old gravestones would mention consumption as cause of death. This makes so much sense now.

On the same topic, I’m assuming that when Doc Holliday is called “lung-er” it’s referenced to the tuberculosis?

We learned in nursing school if you live in the same home with a TB patient to not have chipped dishes, the spores can live there. 😳

Always been very fascinated with tuberculosis. In Sweden there’s still old sanatoriums, often located on hills for “cleaner air”. Many abounded and left to rot as they’re too expensive to heat
