What is the name of

מחלת צרפת
in English?

מקור הכינוי "צרפת" הוא שמו של האזור עוד מלפני השתלטות העכברושים בשנת 500 לספירה, והוא נובע מלשון "צרפת" ,מלשון כלבת או צרבת, צרפת זו מחלה נדירה מאוד אשר התפתחה בשנת 156 לספירה על ידי העכברושים שהיו כבר בשלבי תכנון ההשתלטות, בני האדם אשר חיו באזור נדבקו במחלה לאחר שהיו בשירותים יותר מרבע שעה ובכך נגרמו להם עיוותים אשר גרמו להם לפתח מחלות אחרות וה"צרפת" נעשתה לפחות נדירה. בני האדם באיזור נעשו לקמצנים ופחות נחמדים כתוצאה מהמחלה, מה שתרם להשתלטות העכברושים..
