Merthian lung infection

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 hast retreat. Its supposed symptoms included a wheezing cough and a runny nose, which were experienced for several weeks.
