ABSTRACTION
Usog is a Filipino superstition that attributes an illness to the greeting of a
stranger. It is believed that young children are vulnerable to usog. If after
encountering a stranger, a child develops a fever, the stranger is sought after
and asked to touch lightly his or her saliva on the childs forehead, chest or
abdomen. Filipino parents worry when an unfamiliar person expresses fondness
or even just stares fondly at their child. And if the stranger notices this, he/she
automatically says Pwersausog. meaning he/she understands that the
parents are worried of usog.

Usog is related to bales. Just like in bales, usog victims suffer like
abdominal distress, or abdominal distension, sometimes with severe nausea.
These conditions are attributed to a certain word or comment like: You look
pretty today. What a beautiful child! Immediately the word Pwerausog! is
used as an initial therapy and as a preventive word when usog is suspected to
happen.

Alimuom- the sulfuric odorous heat vapours coming from the surface of the
earth, after rain. Some give attribution to a bad wind that emanates from
someone who is supernaturally endowed with such an ability to cause ill health
through verbal utternaces.

Bulong or orasyon- personal treasury of collected prayers or through

consultations with a local healer or someone knowledgeable or more accessible
in the immediate neighborhood. Some parent also try the help of nagtatawas
who uses a candle in determining who caused the usog or bales.

Punso- a mound of earth believed to be habited by the nuno, placed on a

half of a coconut shell, placed on a fire and heated to the point of embers.
