“The parasites will replace existing parasites over time, and they’ll die if it gets cold, now. Or if you raise your blood alcohol content. Get drunk after a week or two to clear them from your system, and don’t drink tainted water.
Drunk Taylor sounds like an interesting experience. Powers/magic mixed with alcohol lead to fun results sometimes.
If everyone clears them from their systems, the miasma’s effects will be gone by the end of winter.”
That long, huh. Well, still. Better than dying in hours.
“They’re probably what she seeded all over the area, before using the catalyst.”
“I’d believe it.”
“And the damage, can you reverse it?”
“The minor damage, yeah. But I can’t do anything for the people with more serious brain lesions unless I attend to them directly. There’s other healers out there, I know they’re not as good, but maybe they can do something to fix that.”
Othala might actually be able to help, especially since she can heal multiple people at once. (Brian wasn’t able to while borrowing her power because the power reduction made it only last a few seconds per touch.)

“Let me know the second I can go,” I said. “Jack’s going to attack, or pull something.”
“If we’re lucky it’ll be a muscle.”
“Trying to engineer a large-scale solution to help as many people as soon as possible. The parasites will leave your body through your sweat, spit and urine, and enter the local water supply to override the others, and anyone you cure will cure others in a sort of reverse-epidemic.
That’s.
Weird but effective.
I have to make sure this is engineered right, or nobody’s going to get cured. If I screw it up, it could be worse than what Bonesaw did.”
It’s a sensitive business.
