Manakonoyamimushi

Danger level: ★★☆☆☆


This one translates roughly to 'darkness of the eyes mushi.'

These mushi cause intense pain in a person's eyes, if they try looking at light. If it's left untreated, the person is soon unable to live anywhere but the darkest of rooms, with their eyes tightly bandaged against even the slightest ray of light. Unfortunately, this causes the mushi to multiply, and usually they'll attempt to infect anyone else that interacts regularly with someone affected by the creatures.

The cure for this is a little odd: keeping their second eyelid shut, a person stands in moonlight and allows the naturally occurring mushi that live in their eyes to push out the Manakonoyamimushi. This creates an almost unnaturally large amount of mushi rushing out of their eyes; if the person helping them is quick enough, they'll be able to catch the Manakonoyamimushi, and cure the person.

This same silvery-green stuff can be used to do other miraculous things, like turning a glass eye into a real one in order to restore sight to someone who's lost theirs. It doesn't seem like a common practice, though; I assume that the silver mushi either has to be fresh, or has to be taken from the person whose eyesight is going to be restored.
