I know for one that too much aether is deadly for non monster character (which explains the timer in dungeons and against primals, the aetheric concentration is very high in these locations).

But aether is also something similar to a life force if I'm correct, thus it affects every single living being. I've also never seen a monster being sick, is it because they live in areas with a lot of aether?

tl;dr: How does aether and sicknesses interact with each others?

This is a very good question. I haven't quite run across anyone who is sick yet (that I paid attention to) so I would have to do a bit of research. Since there is Espuna to cure poisons - there does seem the ability to have weakness of types that play a toll against the body/health of a person. As it was mentioned above there was a disease in Gridania - so I will try to look more up of that and see what I can dig up on it.

My first thought upon your first paragraph was a disease or virus in which caused aether to replicate within the body, thus creating an excess - however, I do not believe that would be quite possible since it is stated along the story line that all aether borrowed must be returned (cannot create or destroy essentially, merely borrow).

Since it is nearly 5:30am where I live, I will have to look into this more tomorrow and along the way and also search around weaknesses and diseases in FF. Thanks for bringing up this question, sadly is something I will have to look into before I can give a better answer.

She could be running helping out tending the sick and going out for herbs and spreading the disease without knowing it. I think it would be kinda be interesting to have the source of the epidemic in the midst of the community helping out trying to save everyone.

It doesn't have to be her of course... but it would be interesting. I would be just as happy to play one of the infected, or stay healthy and help find a cure.

That could be quite interesting, having someone who is trying to help and fix things actually be the one spreading it by accident.
