  • When Meteor began to fall on Midgar at the end of Final Fantasy VII, the Lifestream emerged to push it back. Because some parts of the Lifestream had been infected with Jenova cells, the people who came in contact with this tainted Lifestream contracted Geostigma. The disease is not contagious, but is believed to be so. In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Vincent Valentine says Geostigma is caused by the host being infected with Jenova cells, and in On the Way to a Smile, the novella "Case of the Lifestream" states that Sephiroth's will acting through those cells is the cause, and the cells are the medium through which they act. In Advent Children Complete, Rufus Shinra states the public believes Mako energy to be the cause of the disease. When someone is infected with Geostigma they contract Jenova's cells, and the immune system works to try to eliminate them. This fails to remove the cells, and the immune system overcompensates fighting an incurable contamination. Those infected with Geostigma experience debilitating weakness as their bodies devote energy to fighting off Jenova's cells, and develop open sores on their body that secrete black ooze. Some sufferers experience hallucinations and seizures. Although its severity varies from person to person, Geostigma is invariably fatal. The disease has no known cure. Cloud was searching for one, and as noted by Barret in On the Way to a Smile, even if a cure were to be found it would be next to impossible to deliver and administer it to all those infected around the world.
