"Uh, Merthian lung infection? It's not serious, is it?"
"Oh, no. It's almost never fatal."
―Tax Inspector Mothra and Roark Garnet[1]

During the Galactic Civil War, the smuggler Roark Garnet pretended to have contracted a phony ailment, Merthian lung infection, on Lockest IV in an attempt to forestall a customs inspection by Tax Inspector Mothra. The ruse worked, and the Tax Inspector beat a hasty retreat. Its supposed symptoms included a wheezing cough and a runny nose.[1]
