Hanahaki

Hanahaki
Potentionally Fatal?: Yes.

---

Causes: Hanahaki is triggered by the bringing of unrequited love, though it requires rather special circumstances. For one, it requires for the one who is loved, but does not return it, to be aware of the one suffering the disease. Secondly, it must be true love, and true love alone. Thirdly, such a disease can only appear in post-pubescent people in any species. Hanahaki can appear for longing of someone who is gone.

---

Symptons: Hanahaki is characterized by the regurgitation of flowers, magically built up in the lungs of the one suffering it. Each flower generally has a different meaning, though occasionally such a meaning becomes blurred. A different flower for a different feeling. In terms of constants, white roses are those of longing. Either way, it builds up over time, eventually to the point where one will regurgitate blood with the flowers. This situation builds up, until the end, where the victim begins to suffocate on the flowers due to the build-up of them in their lungs, killing them if untreated.

Known cures: While Hanahaki cannot be vaccinated against, it can be cured, in two ways. The first way is by the love being requited, the one who's feeling affection for another recieving said love in response. The second way is to surgically remove the flowers- This, however, removes the feelings towards ther person, and it generally unwanted, unless there is no other option.
