History

During the times when exploring was popular, a group of people were in a forest looking for civilization and one of the men’s skin suddenly turned white. The others called it the white plague. They tried to cure it but it wouldn’t go away and he lived with it until the day he died.
His condition was reported to the news and people became interested in finding out what caused it. Researchers started in the forest where they were exploring. Upon doing this others have caught this disease before tracing it to its source.
Scientists then and now have tried to find a cure but it was unsuccessful but learned that it damages the nervous system but the victims can still live a normal life. Other companies tried to cure it but they had the same result.
