Can ghouls be cured in Fallout?

No, there is currently no known, established cure for ghoulification in the Fallout games, as the transformation alters someone at a cellular level, making them functionally immortal but prone to eventual feralization due to brain degradation, though the recent show hints at potential anti-feral treatments like inhalers and experimental concoctions. While some characters manage to delay feralization with chems or willpower, the core condition remains irreversible in the established lore, with research for a true cure largely theoretical or limited to fringe experiments.
