Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was really heavily romanticized in the 19th century. At the time, it was understood to be an inherited disease. So there was nothing you could do to catch it. And so people weren't as worried about it in terms of catching it. And they thought that alongside inheriting TB, you also inherited other traits, like a really sensitive personality. And also you were super hot.

You were really beautiful. You had very pale skin and rosy cheeks and wide sunken eyes. You looked a little bit like an Edgar Allan Poe character. It's no... You know, hot. Yeah. Well, I mean, that was considered hot at the time.

You can see it. You get the vibe. And this was a time when, you know, tuberculosis couldn't be stigmatized away because too many people had it. I mean, at the height of the frightful tuberculization of humanity, as one writer called it, I think in London, one in three people were dying of tuberculosis. And so everyone had TB. Yeah. which at the time was called consumption.

So what were you going to do about consumption other than romanticize it? So it became this disease of beauty and refinement and intellectualism. Like, of course, the great English poet John Keats died of tuberculosis.

And when he was dying, his buddy Percy Shelley wrote him and said, you know, this TV, it does tend to strike people who write great verses as you have done, which I've always thought is hilarious because Percy Shelley also had tuberculosis and he knew that he had it. And so he was also kind of saying like, and I have done, you know? I think we both know that we're both great poets, hence the TB.
