The terror of a curse is not just psychological—it is deeply, unsettlingly physical.

In this episode, Dr. Alexander documents the alarming bodily reactions reported by those who have used haunted tarot decks, providing a critical checklist for identifying the curse's tangible grip.

• Identify the primary warning sign: intense, unexplained fatigue, weakness, headaches, and a general malaise that suggests the cards are draining the user's vital energy.

• Explore the disturbing tactile sensations: tingling, numbness, coldness, or even pain in the hands and fingers during use, as if being physically manipulated by an unseen force.

• Recognize the cardiovascular distress: sudden spikes in heart rate, palpitations, and a sensation of tightness in the chest, indicating a direct attack on the body's core systems.

• Understand the gastrointestinal turmoil: symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea that often accompany feelings of impending doom, showing the body's visceral rejection of the negative energy.

• Receive the crucial advice: any such symptoms are a clear signal to stop using the cards immediately and prioritize your physical health by consulting a medical professional.
