Kayoh
A parasitic condition effecting humans.
Transmission & Vectors
Caused by a parasite found in the air above ground. They latch on to the oxygen that is breathed in and get in to the bloodstream through the alveoli in the lungs. From there they gain control of the victims body turning them into the parasites biological mech suit.
Symptoms
The first symptoms start a week after the parasite has entered the victim's body. Initial symptoms include:
- head aches heartburn muscle pain
"I lose more and more control each day. I fear tomorrow I will just be a husk in this body I no longer own" - An extract from a diary found in an abandoned village. The author is unknown
Treatment
There is currently no treatment. Once a victim is showing symptoms, they would often be outcast so noone has to watch their suffering and to prevent the parasite from destroying civilisation from the inside. Richer individuals would often pay for someone to shoot them to avoid their fate.
Prevention
The parisite can be evaded by wearing a mask from an air Floompth's fur, the higher perrcentage of floompth fur, the better the protection.
It is important to note that even a 100% floompth mask is not able to fully prevent kayoh.
