Alright, due to popular request, I bring you the break down of the Taiwan Disease Personifications. Also, just so y’all know, the official explanations for the designs are not easy to find, so a lot of this is just from what I notice and what I know about the diseases
To start off, we have everyone’s favorite disease: COVID-19
So, this is one of the designs where I could actually find the artist explanation, so I will be including that information plus a couple things I noticed and how I think it fits the disease. So let’s start with to crown. The reason for the inclusion of the crown is the reflect the name coronavirus, corona being the Latin word for crown. The face is partially obscured because of COVID’s tendency to hide itself. The bean bag chair that they are sitting on has many protrusions signifying the spike proteins. The different digital devices represent how the world went virtual during the pandemic and the news channels behind them represent the media’s freak out when COVID was at its height. The floor has an outline of the world because everywhere was affected by the pandemic. Also, if you look closely, they are wearing little Covid earrings.
Next up, we got Zika:
I could not find an official artist statement for this design, so take my explanation with a grain of salt. So first off the red waist band reminds me of the red stripe that goes down the abdomen of the mosquito species that spreads Zika after it has fed. Also, the white markings on the black are also a characteristic of this species of mosquito. In fact, the design is the stripes on the chest look like the markings these mosquitoes have on their back. She presents female because it’s the female mosquitoes that bite and spread diseases. Her sleeves look like mosquito wings once again a reference to mosquitoes being the primary vectors of Zika. The area behind her has palm fronds to represent that Zika is a disease typically found in tropical climates.
Next up we have: Hansen’s Disease (aka Leprosy)
This is one where I could find the artist statement due to it being a pretty recent one, however, I will say that at least the translation was a bit lacking in describing the reasoning of every detail. She is a mask maker because leprosy changes how people perceive those who are infected but it is something that can easily be removed with modern antibiotics. She has different accessories like the lion and crocodile headpiece that implicate the divine involvement because leprosy has been historically thought to be a punishment of the gods. The scales on her arm look like an allusion to the scaling pattern scars that those with leprosy would develop.
Next up: Rubella
After a lot of digging I found the official profile for this design but it didn’t really explain the design choices so we are going to do more analysis on my end. So the pomegranate and the red dots represent the red rashes that come with rubella infections. The glasses I assume are to show how Rubella can lead to Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) which can occur in children if their mother had rubella while pregnant. One of the symptoms that comes with CRS is cataracts.
Next up: the plague
I found the explanation on this and it just confirmed my own suspicions for certain design choices. So her design is very focused on death and mysticism because of how the Black Plague led to a lot of cultural focus on these two ideas. Behind her are old coins because of the economic impact the plague had on the civilizations of its time. The references to death are the skeletal pattern on her dress, and the scythe behind her and on her belt. The references to mysticism include the tarot cards she is holding and the crosses on her hat. On the tarot cards are designs referencing the three different forms the plague takes (bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic) as well as a posey which was used to try to ward of the plague in old times. On her hat is also a collection of plague doctor masks which is pretty self explanatory as to how that connects.
Next up: Ebola
I couldn’t find the official explanation for this disease, so this is mostly speculation based on my analysis. Her outfit is red because of the hemorrhaging that comes with the disease. Specifically he lips are red because one of the more unique characteristics of Ebola is hiccuping up blood. The accessories seem to be inspired by central and western african traditional jewelry. There appear to be tribal masks on the necklace, I am not well versed in African art unfortunately, so any deeper meaning of these accessories are unfortunately lost on me. There are bats on the headdress because of bats being the natural host of Ebola. Her design is rather demonic because Ebola was so terrible for the areas affected, that people thought it could be caused be some great evil. The skulls are because of the extremely high death rate that comes with ebola. The leaves and fruits shown come from the African jungles which is typically where Ebola outbreaks start.
Next up: Novel Influenza A Virus Infections
I actually found the artist explanation for this design! As a disease closely associated with birds, there are many elements linked to birds. There are many bird shadows, the hair that looks like feathers, and the beak shaped mask, feathers on his tie and a feather tattoo on right arm, and the “H-N” pin (H and N proteins of the influenza virus).
Next up: Dengue Fever
Another one with an artist statement! Since only female mosquitoes bite, the character is set as a female. Her dark red lips represent mosquito’s instinct to bite, and she is holding a poisonous thornapple flower. She has mosquito wings tattooed on her back and thornapple flower tattooed on her arm. I have spent a long time looking into how the thornapple flower relates to dengue, but I haven’t had a lot of luck. From what I have seen is that the roots, seeds, and leaves are used in some traditional medicines, including treatments for malaria, but I have not had luck finding how it is connected to Dengue specifically.
Next up: Japanese Encephalitis
I found the artist statement for this disease as well. The disease is visualized into three characters that form a pop group, with their names reflecting the 3 main Culex mosquito species that spread Japanese encephalitis in Taiwan, which are Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Three), Culex annulus (Ring), and Culex fuscocephala (Shiro). They wear black and white, like the colors of the Culex mosquitoes. Red accessories represent their love for blood. I don’t have much to add outside of the artist explanation.
Last one for now is: Rabies
I found the explanation for this one, but it is not descriptive at all, so I am going to be going into every detail because this is Rabies. The spikes on the jacket and pant legs represent the protein spikes rabies uses to infect nerves. The blue jacket and gloves are representing water as one of the unique characteristics of rabies is hydrophobia (physical repulsion to water). The claw marks on the shirt show the animalistic tendencies the virus brings out. The violin players in the animal mask show how the virus can hide in these animals. The personification of rabies is holding a conductor’s wand showing how rabies controls those who are infected. The teeth necklace shows how it spreads through bites and they are standing on the brain because that is what rabies infects. He has a chain with mammal skulls once again tying back to rabies being a fatal mammalian disease. The belt buckle has a bone on it as bone are associated with bones and rabies is associated with dogs.

Meningococcal meningitis
Description:
Maybe you will meet him under the rotten spring sun. He talks and laughs happily, is kind and enthusiastic, making you ignore the scar on his forehead without knowing it.
[I am doing a small experiment, are you interested in helping? ]
You who promised him, the last thing you remember is the name on the laboratory
Description (Traditional Chinese):
你成許會在爛的春陽下與他相遇
他談笑風生，親切而熱情，讓你不和不覺中忽略了他額上的傷疤
【我正在做個小實驗，你有興趣幫忙嗎？】
答應了他的你，最後記得的是實驗室上掛著的名字
Character: Epidemic Cerebrospinal Meningitis
Release: September 2021
Artist: Luo Peishan Quan Lo
Nickname: Epidemic Meningitis
Gender: Male
Height: 184cm
Weight: 68kg
Birthdate: 10/23 (Libra)
Personality: With a gentle appearance to cover up the madness of the experiment in his heart, only people with high vigilance can see that something is wrong in his mind. A human scientist who loves experiments to the point of obsession, specializing in brain mechanisms, and also has a lot of research in hematology. He likes to have one-on-one talks with the subjects before the human experiment begins, hoping to get to know them better. Contrary to the somewhat crazy appearance, he unexpectedly got along well with children, but it seems that some subjects never came out after entering his laboratory. . . .
Likes: All human beings, sunny spring, exercis, puzzle games of the brain

#Meningococcal meningitis#DISEASE#Taiwan CDC Magazine#gijinka#there are many forms of meningitis that are noted in some of the links#many of them have vaccines and in some areas are a required vaccination for some schools in order for you to properly enroll#with the rise in vaccines#there has been a decrease in the disease#the disease can spread through close contact#this is why a lot of colleges where people are in small spaces require vaccinations of certain types of meningitis#since it is the swelling of the brain and spinal cord it is likely the reason behind the design of the scar on the character's head#anyways. sorry for not being present for quite some time

Arsenic
Type: Metallic Mineral
Structure: Hexagonal, psudocubic; natural crystals rare; usually granular, massive; also mammillary, stalactic, reniform
Location: France, Germany, England, Italy, United States, Canada, Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Vietnam, Taiwan
Environment: Largely found in mesothermal and epithermal veins, where it is associated with barite, nickeline, and cinnabar
Hardness: 3 ½
Cleavage: perfect, one direction
Color: Tin-white, tarnishing quickly to dark gray, metallic
Streak: Tin-white
Other Information:
Two forms of Arsenic
Organic
This term simply means the arsenic compound contains carbon.
Inorganic
Research indicates that toxicity levels are higher and associated health effects are more severe with inorganic arsenic
Specific Gravity: 5.6 - 5.7
Fracture: uneven, brittle
Garlicky odor when heated (fumes are poisonous)
Melting Point: 1,502°F
Similar species: Antimony
Native, usually with some antimony, iron, nickel, silver, and sulfur
Arsenic is the 33 element on the periodic table. Its symbol is As
Arsenic’s name:
Arsenic gets its name from a Persian word for the yellow pigment now known as orpiment. For keen lexicographers apparently the Persian word in question Zarnikh was subsequently borrowed by the Greeks for their word arsenikon which means masculine or potent.
⚠️ Warning ⚠️
This is a highly hazardous mineral!
The following articles contain more information on the health risks of Arsenic.
Just in case you missed my post on Antimony, I feel that knowing how to identify the safe and unsafe rocks, minerals and crystals is important. I know people who have found hazardous minerals out in the wild near me which is why I feel that these are important even if you never come in contact with them.
