n. - A deadly disease that ravaged much of Europe and the western world in the Medieval Ages, and can still be found to this day. Tinfoil Plague (or the Tin Death, as it is sometimes called) was once thought to be spread by the bite of conspiracy theorists, but as we now know it is actually transmitted by the head lice they carry.
Symptoms of the Tin Death include large, silvery-metallic blisters that break into open sores, uncontrollable babbling and shaking, vomiting, coughing, high fever, sudden devotion to conspiracy theories, and explosive diarrhea. Symptoms generally begin within a few days of being bitten by one of the lice from a conspiracy theorist's head. More robust victims can often withstand a few weeks before deteriorating into full-blown conspiracy theorists, but others succumb to the Tin Death much quicker.
Treatment of the Tinfoil Plague requires anticonspiriotics, usually Soutercilin. Even with Soutercilin, intense therapy is needed to bring a victim back into touch with reality. Survivors of the Tin Death are still at high risk of developing malignant tinfoil tumors.
If you think you may have symptoms of Tinfoil Plague, contact your doctor immediately.
Protect yourself from the Tinfoil Plague: Avoid all conspiracy theorists and the infectious head lice they carry.

Plague doctors date back to the seventeenth century, during the epidemics of bubonic plague that swept western Europe, plague doctors (who exclusively treated the infected) took to wearing a very different kind of costume to protect them from the miasma, or โbad airโ, then believed to carry disease. This fanciful-looking costume typically consisted of a head-to-toe leather or wax-canvas garment; large crystal glasses; and a long snout or bird beak, containing aromatic spices (such as camphor, mint, cloves, and myrrh), dried flowers (such as roses or carnations), or a vinegar sponge. The strong smells of these items โ sometimes set aflame for added advantage โ were meant to combat the contagious miasma that the costume itself could not protect against.
Plague doctors also carried, the scholar G. L. Townsend chronicles, a โwand with which to issue instructionsโ, such as ordering disease-stricken houses filled with spiders or toads โto absorb the airโ and commanding the infected to inhale โbottled windโ or take urine baths, purgatives, or stimulants. These same wands were used to take a patientโs pulse, to remove his clothing, and also to ward off the infected when they came too close. (A potent tool for social distancing if ever there was one!)
