Wasting plague symptoms

Does anyone know what the symptoms of the Wasting Plague were? And where can I find that information?

Tuberculosis you mean?

Was it just TB?

Yep it was called consumption as well as wasting disease.

In the 1800's I believe both tuberculosis and cancer (and possibly others) were referred to collectively as consumption.

If I ever get cancer I am gonna name my tumors, that way I don't have to call it cancer

I stand corrected!

When did medicine advance far enough they knew cancer was cancer?
