They all showed the same symptoms and it was not unreasonable at the time to consider them all manifestations of the same thing.
​
The converse may also occur.
​
Prior to discovery of the link between staphylococcus bacteria and the various diseases it can produce, medical practitioners referred to those manifestations as if they were unique and separate diseases: "The Itch." "The Rash." "The Fever." "The Pustules." "Septicemia." "Rheumatic Fever," etc. Now we simply say,
​
"Staph Infection."

Can a person suffer from mildew?
​
If you understand mildew and mold to be general terms for fungus:
You're darn tootin' they can!
​
Ever hear of Athlete's Foot? Ringworm? Jock itch? Yeast infection?
​
Inhalation of certain mold spores can cause respiratory difficulty, hallucinations, even death; especially among infants, the elderly, and those with lung disease.

Re: confused
So when Jesus 'touched' him (Matt 8:3,Mark 1:42), he could have been curing jock itch? Hmmm.:-)

Re: confused
Ha! Ha!
​
Perhaps for 'touched' we could read: treated?
