Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Can anyone think of a severe physical problem that you could induce that is easily reversible with antibiotics?

Hahaha it's for my book... I was thinking Cushing's syndrome induced by a massive injection of Adrenocorticotropic hormone combined with a regular glucocarticoid inhaler prescribed for asthma. But it seems like Cushing's syndrome, even pseudo-Cushing's syndrome is not reversible within a matter of days.

Yea. BUT DON'T MENTION IT. Then you can fake all the illnesses you want.
Difficulty breathing.
Spasms on the floor.
"quick... I must... get back to my bed.."
A day in bed (the aquarium) and it's all better.
Oh Fine.

Just have the main character eat some undercooked hot wings and follow it up with a nice glass of milk and a cup of orange juice. That'll be all the illness you need, forever.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming
