Types of Diseses

Infectious circulatory disease (ICD) 

Languoreum mutationis 

  

Noun: A deadly contagious bacterial virus that attacks the nervous system causing the body to mutate.  

Caused by the bacteria teueleo, ICD is found in waste and unhygienic places.  

ICD is most common among unhygienic people and changelings. Contact with contaminated fluids causes it to spread rapidly. It can also spread from parent to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.  

​

Symptoms include fever, a bruised mouth, dark eyes, and mental confusion.  

A person infected with ICD can be identified by their lack of coordination, poor posture, dark sunken eyes, swollen or smiling face, and aggression. 

 

Although a slow virus (4-5 months) continued exposure to it can cause effects to become worse and for stages to pass faster.

 

Stages of ICD 

Stage 0)  Not infected, healthy. Stage 1) 2 weeks   coughing, fever, headache, nasal discharge, fatigue, bruised mouth, sunken eyes.  Stage 2) 3 weeks   coughing up foam, lethargy, not eating/drinking, shakes, vomiting, swelling around face, stretched mouth, and limbs, confusion. Coat color darkens. Scalera turns black.  Iron deficit-  Stage 3) 4 weeks   vomiting blood, and tissue, muscle spasms, paralysis, horn like growths begin to develop. Often walking in circles, or unmoving for days. Skin peels and flakes off. Claws and teeth grow larger and more canine like, forming a large wide smile.  Inflammation of the brain and spine. Becomes violent, and aggressive (or self-harms).   Develops a thirst for blood/iron. -  Stage 4) 5-8 weeks  The body grows larger in size, growths become large antler like horns. Longer limbs (can grow another set of limbs, eyes, ears, etc.), spasms, loss of control.   The brain begins to decay till the creature dies.  Stage 5) 2 weeks – 10 years  Death. The corpse rots into a black mush of blood and tissue. Contagious when ingested. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​ Once the ICD infection is established, there's no effective treatment.  Many of people have survived ICD the disease usually causes death. For that reason, if you think you've been exposed to ICD, you must get a series of shots and blood transfusions to prevent the infection from taking hold. You can take medicine that control ICD and keep it from progressing.  To reduce your risk of coming in contact with ICD stay away from possible places of contamination, filth, garbage, drugs, changelings. Use protection, don't reuse needles. ​​ ​

Vampirism 

​

Noun: An infectious disease that causes aggression and blood lust. 

Caused by contact of vampire saliva, this most commonly occurs through surviving a vampire attack. Contact with vampiric saliva causes the person to turn into a vampire. 

Vampire attacks often happen in dark and secluded environments but not every attack is fatal. Some have contacted vampirism through mutual interactions with an undisguised vampire.  

​

Symptoms include fever, wound pain, confusion or anxiety.  

An vampire is identifiable by their sunken yellow eyes with bright red pupils, dark faded hands, and separation or aggression towards society. Often only coming out at dusk, and being restless during the night. 

​

Being a vampire is manageable, with a weekly diet of half a cup of blood, the vampire can be stable and even friendly. They're instincts will lessen and they can continue to live their life normally although with a shorter lifespan due to inevitable heart failure. If a vampire dosent consume enough blood or drinks to much they can spiral into madness and lose all sense of self as they will grow blood lusted and deadly.
