Little Worm

a small worm takes residence in the afflicted's skin and despite their feelings about the worm, they find themselves not only not removing it but protecting it.

the worm can talk to the afflicted. the worm can also make the person see the world through its "eyes", which can change faces, colours, and lighting. the worm can also make the person hear things to control where the person goes by making them think someone needs them.

Transmission & Vectors

the worm replicates in the host's skin and spreads via touch

Symptoms

the worm's residence will show through red lines and holes all over the host's skin

Treatment

the worms are highly and deathly allergic to negative space fluff and the liquids excreted by flesh cubes. one can keep them at bay (but not kill them) by burning them any time they expose themselves through the skin. this will not kill them, but only because the worm is smart enough to go back in before the burning substance kills them.

Prognosis

you'll live

Sequela

removing the worm can lead to serious paranoia, lack of focus, the feeling of missing something, and sometimes depression as though the host has lost a friend
