Bog lung

"There's no real cure but swift action upon first contact. When the spores of the bog algea get into the lungs of a human it depends on the specific physical conditions of the involuntary host, whether they germinate or not. Today we've learned that residents from Dar Sai are much more resistant to these spores than non-residents. If one catches these spores and they do germinate, only a swift operation would prevent an otherwise slow and extremely painful death."
