Red Dead Redemption 2: Arthur's Tuberculosis Diagnosis ─ FantasticalGamer

In today's Red Dead Redemption 2 video we have Arthurs Tuberculosis Diagnosis - But is there a cure?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in 1899, and back then, tuberculosis was also widely known as "consumption" because of the way the infection would slowly break down and eat away at the body.

A person infected with this disease when it becomes active will lose massive weight, cough up bloody phlegm, and experience other symptoms like heavy fatigue. It generally infected the lungs, which is why the diseased would be advised to move to dry and warm climates (and why Micah keeps calling Arthur "Black Lung"), but it could potentially spread to other parts of the body.

Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States and Europe in the 1800's. Currently, tuberculosis is treated with different, intense antibiotics, but in the 1800's, no such medicine existed. The first antibiotic, penicillin, wasn't discovered until 1928.
