Description
[DIRECT — English translation visible in image]
A disease in which the whole body becomes a magnet, attracting metal objects. The source of infection is unknown. If the symptoms are mild, they can be cured with medicine, but the ingredients in the drug can cause hair loss and make the patient more susceptible to skin diseases, so be careful. If the symptoms become severe, the metal that has stuck to the body can penetrate the body, resulting in tragic consequences.
Symptoms
Entire body becomes magnetic.
Metal objects are attracted to the patient.
Severe cases cause metal objects to penetrate the body.
Medication may cause hair loss and increased susceptibility to skin disease.
Progression
Mild cases can be medically treated. Severe cases result in increasingly dangerous metal accumulation and penetration.
Cure/Treatment
Medicine can cure mild cases, but the medication itself has serious side effects.
Additional Notes
The source of infection is unknown.
An independently indexed Japanese fan work also uses 磁石病 (“Magnet Disease”) as the name, which supports this reconstruction of the otherwise obscured Japanese title. (無料スマホ夢小説ならプリ小説 byGMO - 会話で楽しむストーリー)
