History and specifics[]
In the year 2342, nembitol was tested as a potential cure for the Rot, but proved to be ineffective. Test results were posted in Volume 83, Issue 9 of the journal.
In 2365, Wesley Crusher had been reading up on nembitol, wondering if it would cute the Rot, but Data recalled the journal entry, and Crusher called it up on a viewscreen, disappointed that he'd missed it during his research. (TNG novel: Strike Zone)
