花吐き病 [hanahaki disease] - (n.) an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient coughs/throws up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be cured if the feelings fade or get reciprocated. In serious cases, surgery can be administered to remove the flower roots from the lungs. Side effects of the surgery include permanent loss of romantic feelings toward the specific person and chronic bronchitis if the surgery is administered at a late stage. If left untreated, the illness will cause severe lung damage, and eventually, death.
