Plague Rat – Chapter 3, Page 3

Description

Panel One: DJ gives Cal an incredulous look as he continues to pet Mara. "No, you're not," he says. Cal looks panicked as he insists, still hiding partially behind his blanket, "What?! Yes, I am!"

Panel Two: DJ rolls his eyes and makes a dismissive gesture. "Cal, you're a Carrier," he says, "Carriers don't have allergies."

Panel Three: Cal has put down his blanket, and is now curious. "How?" he asks. DJ, still petting Mara, explains, "Our systems are too busy handling real threates to care about things like pollen." SFX: ~purr~ ~purr~

Panel Four: Cal watches as DJ, smiling softly, pets Mara. "Oh... That makes sense," he says.

Panel Five: Cal asks, "So... I don't have allergies anymore?" DJ smiles and says, "That's right!"

Panel Six: "YES!" Cal shouts, as he thrusts his hands into the air triumphantly. There are cute cat face effects behind him. DJ looks startled.

Author Note

This is the best news Cal's got in a while!
 
The "No Allergies" thing is based on a study that looked at seemingly "allergy-immune" people. Turns out, internal parasites (like tapeworms) that were endemic to the region kept their bodies from having allergic responses to their environment. Like DJ says, their bodies had more important things to worry about than pollen and dander.
