Consider the following scenario:
For 3 hours every day, every person is inflicted with a disease/episode of mad, uncontrollable movements. They move about sharply and erratically. Thus often includes striking their limbs against solid surfaces. Injuries from this often kill a decent number of people, besides the economic costs lf these 3 hours. The head banging often leaves the majority unable to remember what happened during these hours. This disease is only known because the hours are different for most people, so any who are not currently under it witness the others. Still, the memory loss means that only written records survive to tell the tale, as most even forget what they previously witnessed after their own episodes. Even for those who remember, a mixture of fear (some have killed others) and pride (which is actually a child of fear in its own right) have most being repulsive of trying to tackle this issue.
You live in a desert, which means that there are no hard elements to bang your head against. As a result, you remember almost everything and have never suffered anything more than breaking some fingers.
As you go about your way, you discover a plant which can be burned to release a smoke that cures+vaccinates against the disease for 10yrs (you did some experimenting to find out). However, this curing effect only happens after several minutes of inhaling the smoke. To add to this, it happens that it must be administered while a person is having an episode. To close it off, before the cure takes effect, the person who breathes in the smoke becomes extremely violent against the source of it (including the one who is delivering it - you), as if fighting off the cure itself. This means trying to administer the cure is fatally dangerous.
In light of this, what would you do? Would you take the risk to administer the cure or simply save yourself and continue life in your desert? There is a possibility that delivering the smoke in crowded spaces could pityou against an army of madmen!
Would you take the risk?
