chifusu to densetsu チフスと伝説 Legends about typhus
chifusu チフス typhus // parachifusu 腸チフス - パラチフス typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever
- quote -
Typhus, also known as typhus fever, is a group of infectious diseases that include
epidemic typhus, scrub typhus and murine typhus.
Common symptoms include fever, headache, and a rash. Typically these begin one to two weeks after exposure.
The diseases are caused by specific types of bacterial infection.
Epidemic typhus is due to Rickettsia prowazekii spread by body lice, scrub typhus is due to Orientia tsutsugamushi spread by chiggers, and murine typhus is due to Rickettsia typhi spread by fleas.
..... Scrub typhus occurs in Southeast Asia, Japan, and northern Australia.
..... Typhus has been described since at least 1528 AD. The name comes from the Greek tûphos (τύφος) meaning hazy, describing the state of mind of those infected. While "typhoid" means "typhus-like", typhus and typhoid fever are distinct diseases caused by different types of bacteria.
----- Signs and symptoms begin with sudden onset of fever, and other flu-like symptoms about one to two weeks after being infected. Five to nine days after the symptoms have started, a rash typically begins on the trunk and spreads to the extremities. This rash eventually spreads over most of the body, sparing the face, palms, and soles. Signs of meningoencephalitis begin with the rash and continue into the second or third weeks. Other signs of meningoencephalitis include sensitivity to light (photophobia), altered mental status (delirium), or coma. Untreated cases are often fatal.

wakamiya sama 若宮様 Wakamiya "Young Lord"
In 1924, there was a paratypuus epidemy in a hamlet. Many thought it was the curse of a Deity.
They went to the beach of 東海岸 Higashi Kaigan to a monoshiri モノシリ（巫女）Miko Shrine maiden for a divination. She went into trance and made the performance of someone killed by an arrow and decaying. In fact, the killed person was Wakamiya.

Wakamiya was then declared a deity and venerated in a special Shrine.
