Sure, in the Dockery hovel and shed, but papers were recently found that John Keats was being investigated by the police in Rome (December, 1820) for not disclosing to his landlady that he had tuberculosis. He died in February, 1821.

We thought that burning all the furniture in the room was excessive and that bleach and water would do, but we see that the germs can stay on surfaces for up to six months:

"Once coughed out by a person with TB, the bacilli can survive up to six months outside the body if they are protected from direct sunlight. Often they settle in dusty, dark areas."

"Dusty, dark areas" sounds like pissbum bodies, and Dr. NancyGene declines to treat pissbums. We would, however, treat Mr. Keats, once we got the TB shot.

Avoid cliches like the plague. They're a dime a dozen.
