LUIS' NOTES 5
The question of whether it's possible to remove a resident "Plaga" has apparently been a focus of attention since the early days of research on this parasite.
This wasn't intended to be a treatment though, but rather to serve as verification that the parasite couldn't be removed at the host's own volition.
As it turns out, it's possible to exclusively terminate the Plaga by using special radiation before it reaches adulthood. Killing the Plaga while it's still connected to their nervous system could cause severe disorientation however, as the pain would be transmitted to the host.
It's also important to note that if the Plaga's an adult by this point, the host will probably die as well. Considering the consequences though, simply dying may be more pleasing.

ルイスのメモ 5
寄生した「プラーガ」を外す事が可能なのか、という問題は、この寄生体の研究において初期の頃から注目されてきたらしい。
ただし、これは治療が目的ではなく、宿主の意思で寄生を取り除けないようにするための検証だったようだ。
結論から言うと、成体になる前なら特殊な放射能で、「プラーガ」のみを死滅させる事が可能だ。しかし神経がつながった状態の「プラーガ」を殺す事は、その苦痛が宿主にも伝わるので、重度の意識障害が起こる可能性がある。
さらに注意すべきは、この時点で「プラーガ」が成体となっていた場合、宿主の方も死ぬであろう事だ。だが、その後の事を考えれば、いっそ死んでしまった方が幸せかもしれない。

LUIS' MEMO 5
From the initial stages of the research, we have been searching for a safe and practical removal procedure of the Plaga.
Ironically, it turns out that the real objective of this research was not to find a way to remove the Plagas from the infected persons but to find a way so that the Plaga could not be removed from the body easily.
In the end, we were able to find out that the Plagas could be removed only by exposing them to a special radiation. The only drawback with this method is that it is a very painful procedure. Since the Plaga attaches itself to the nerves, there is a possibility that it may impair the consciousness of the host.
Another fact that must be mentioned is that once the Plaga grows into an adult, the removal procedure could kill the host.
But perhaps death isn't so bad when you think about the alternative.
