PATHOGENIC INDEX - CPOS-1, "Opiate Flu"

Index Designation: C88-Z, codenamed "Opiate Flu"

Transmission Medium: Bodily fluids, mainly a mucous secretion filled with viral agents.

Pathogenic Designation: Cause of neurological change unknown; disease is likely spread by viral agents.




Symptoms:

Immediately after initial contact: Swelling, dizziness, nausea, festering of the wound.

​
10-20 minutes after initial contact: Severe discoloration of the skin around the wound, confusion, migraines, high fevers, possible paralysis (depending on the amount of mucous secretion the patient has been exposed to).​


​
30-60 minutes after initial contact: Fainting, loss of bowel control, extreme confusion, agitation, loss of communicative abilities and logic skills.​


1-2 hours after initial contact: Clinical brain death followed by an inexplicable return of lower neurological functions. The patient ​
becomes extremely aggressive and will attack any noninfected individuals in the immediate vicinity, usually by biting (which seems to be the main method of transmission for the infection). Moreover, boils containing pus-like concentrations of the pathogen begin to accumulate on the infected's epidermis.​



​
Note: If an infected individual experiences death after being infected, he or she will reanimate, regardless of the stage of infection.​



​
It seems as though any contact with any bodily fluids of an infected causes the person in question to be infected. Exercise extreme caution when interacting with infected individuals.​
