If no one was afflicted by the Black Breath, a wolf can claim that they were afflicted, and there will be no counter claim. The next day, they can say that the Herbalist must have saved them, and so long as the narration doesn't contradict that, there is no reason not to believe them - and we would think they were a known innocent. I don't think this is the case with Kuru, since he was pretty trusted yesterDay, so there would be no reason for him to try to cement his status as an innocent by pretending to be afflicted. Therefore, I am pretty confident that he's telling the truth about his brush with the Black Breath.
