Consumption (tuberculosis) was thought to be caused by the deceased consuming the life of their surviving relatives. Bodies were exhumed and internal organs ritually burned to stop the "vampire" from attacking the local population and prevent the spread of the disease. Notable cases, such as those of Mercy Brown in Rhode Island and Frederick Ransom in Vermont, provoked national attention and comment. ==Background== Tuberculosis was known as "consumption" at the time as it appeared to consume an infected person's body.〔("Learn the Signs and Symptoms of TB Disease" ) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 18 June 2012. Web. 2 December 2012.〕 Although it is now known to be a bacterial disease, the cause was unknown until the late 19th century.〔Madigan, Michael T., et al. ''Brock Biology of Microorganisms: Thirteenth edition.'' Benjamin Cummings: Boston, 2012. Print.〕 The infection spreads easily among a family; thus when one family member died of consumption, other members were often infected and gradually lost their health. People believed that this was due to the deceased TB sufferer draining the life from other family members.〔 The belief that consumption was spread in this way was widely held in New England〔 and in Europe. In an attempt to protect the survivors and ward off the effects of consumption, bodies of those who had died of the disease were exhumed and examined. The corpse was deemed to be feeding on the living if it was determined to be unusually fresh, especially if the heart or other organs contained liquid blood. After the culprit was identified, there were a number of proposed ways to stop the attacks. The most benign of these was simply to turn the body over in its grave. In other cases, families would burn the "fresh" organs and rebury the body; occasionally the body would be decapitated. Affected family members would also inhale smoke from the burned organs or consume the ashes in a further attempt to cure the consumption.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New England vampire panic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
