Surata IV Microbe Infection

NotesImages
Illness List
Universe : Prime Timeline
Name : Surata IV Microbe Infection [1]

This infection was passed on by being scratched by the thorns of a living vine plant native to Surata IV. The vines benefitted from the infection as the remains of their victims fertilised the soil they lived in. The microbes displayed properties of both a virus and a bacteria. They attached themselves to the great sciatic nerve and multiplied, fusing themselves to the nerves at a molecular level and damaging neural functioning, causing paralysis. Neither surgery nor a transporter biofilter could remove the infection, but they could be counteracted by stimulating negative dreams in the brain, producing chemicals which neutralised the infection. [1]
