Why doesn't Morgan have the pox?
If this has been discussed before, I'm sorry, but "pox" is apparently too short a word for the search to find.
Why haven't Morgan or De Singe contracted the pox? They've both been exposed to Guybrush's cursed hand for long periods of time, you'd think they'd be sick by now. Even Winslow finally caught it; is it literally a disease that only affects pirates?

That way you could only get it from the airborne virus. If Morgan wasn't in the Gulf Of Melange when the virus was first released then she may have been safe from it.
P.S. What would Do'ro be like with the pox?...
I cannot remember, I'm not so observant
P.S. I mean the Voodoo Lady will help him bring down LeChuck, not that Guybrush would have to fight the Voodoo Lady and LeChuck. My bad.
Were we? When did that come up? (I honestly don't know if we will or not, this is just the first I have heard of it. It's hard to keep track of everything!)
Hmm, now that I look, I can't find where I saw that. I could've sworn I read it in the private pirate forum ... eh, one less thing for you guys to worry about.
Lady Voodoo, Comtesse des Loas? I never realized she was a member of the peerage, or that the Caribbean had a peerage.
I can't remember there has been a promise or something that her name would be revealed. I didn't expect De Cava to give it away either.
One little funny thing I noticed in that context though:
When asked what her name is in TMI, she replies that "names have power" whereas in CMI, which I recently played again, she replies to the same question with "names have little importance".
She also said in CMI that she is known under different names on different islands - now THAT revelation is going to be interesting...
A fortune teller that makes stuff up as she goes!? Say it isn't so..
LOL well spotted
So many questions! Are drunks automatically pirates?
Actually in many cultures names were considered powerful and could be used to hold power over your. People would have a "real" or secret name that was not usually used or known by those outside of your family. The story of Rumplestilzken is an example of knowing someone's name and using that knowledge to manipulate them.
Or De Singe has an antidote and he gave it to Morgan (So she couldn't get infected while retrieving the hand)
Or the Pox doesn't affect LeChuck and since LeChuck and Morgan are related... ummh what was that?
Or...Telltale has a better idea and/or explanation and I'll wait for it
The only cure is the sponge as the voodoo lady stated. And just because Morgan is working with Guybrush doesn't mean she won't get it. Actually, that would increase the chances of her getting it. Winslow was working with Guybrush and he still got it.
The Voodoo Lady is not all knowing and maybe there is another cure and she doesn't know about it.
Or by some voodoo-related (or not) reason she doesn't want to disclose an alternative.
But even if the only cure is the Sponge, that doesn't necessarily preclude that De Singe found a synthetic replacement (even by chance) through science.
De Singe is a doctor i bet he knows the cure.
Possible, but there has been evidence of that. He's making an elixir so I doubt he would want a cure to be made.
Maybe they do have it? I can't imagine Winslow catching the pox inside the Manatee's mouth; it's pretty damned possible he got it when he was still on Flotsam and the pox was spreading over the island, it probably just took a bit longer to show. And Elaine was there when the pox was released, so she would have been exposed before him.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Morgan has it a bit herself, its still not too late for her to suddenly start showing signs of it. (I can imagine dropping Guybrush off for his trial and suddenly going green-faced and red eyed as soon as him and the sponge was taken away. One of those "whoops" moments?) As far as the whole "Pirates only disease" I can't imagine it, and besides (seeing as this thread is on Morgan and the pox), she might hunt them but she's pretty quick to consider herself a pirate too sometimes. "Mighty Pirates don't talk! We don't have time to!"
If that's true, what does it say about Morgan? (Maybe she had to sell her boat to pay off her debt to Mary Kay!)
Take for example the pig flu problem. You are all exposed to it, but not all of you are gonna get it.
Maybe Voodoo Lady (TM) is just a franchise. When you buy your shop, they give you the basic history of Guybrush Threepwood, some creepy jars (for ambiance), and some tarot cards. Each island has their own Voodoo Lady who looks remarkably like the ones on other islands, thanks to the Voodoo Lady cosmetics and clothing line.
That's the second best theory I've ever heard
PS> So, you inherit your lover Coronado too?
Nah, She probably just has a bunch of identical sisters, like Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny.
Most of the characters only show signs of the Pox when they get angry, and Morgan is too calm and disciplined to get angry...so far.
