Växerni (vä-ksen- ri)

How Växenri Works
  Stage 1, the host will inhale the toxic spores for a period of time- this can be anywhere from a thirty seconds to an hour. These spores can be inhaled either from the plants, an open wound or breathing in someone's breath. Once the Toxins have been inhaled, they will enter the bloodstream.   Stage 2, anywhere from a week to a month after the spores have entered the bloodstream, the spores will begin to micro-clot. Once a clot has developed, the clot will then root itself into a point in a vein close the the bone and skin. The micro-clot will then root into place and begin growing into a mycelium. Once the mycelium developes, mushrooms will start growing. These mushrooms will grow out of the bloodstream and to the surface. In every host there will be anywhere from four to ten mycelia. The mycelia typically only have four mushrooms each.   Stage 3, once mushrooms have begun sprouting, the myceluim will start becoming parasitic. This is the point where the damage done will start to be ireverasble. The myceluim will start making the host halucinate.   Stage 4, the mycelium will put the host to sleep and begin eating the host as it slowly looses its mind to the nightmares.             If for any reason you remove one of these plants, the toxins in your blood will release into the air and continue the spread of these toxins. These plants can cut off flow to limbs in extreme situations. These plants cannot grow from your organs as they need blood as fuel. The plants don't grow from your mouth as they are not developed to deal with being there. The roots of the plants can wrap around the bone, this may cause it to break in some cases.    The virus relies on warm temperatures and blood to help keep it alive. Meaning it won't survive cold climates during the winter. It can dispose of the host quickly or slowly, typically the virus takes its time to spread. The way the virus spreads is when you inhale the toxins, the spores develop in your lungs and spread through your bloodstream, they crack the skin and root into the host. The roots are extremely painful when they grow. The roots do not block the blood flow, instead they sap into the veins. A sign that a plant will sprout from your skin is bruising and pain in an area. The plants typically grow from where veins are closest to the surface, such as wrists, ankles, neck, upper right chest, etc.     The disease made Fagerfolk go extinct, and affected: Alven, Facerni, Håzla, myldrit and tylwyth. Yatoshino yua were not affected since they lived near the equator, pcht were not affected since they live in water, Metomer  were the only immune speacies.

Causes

it started from one of the few giant fungi forest located in the northwest part if Threa. The mutation happened when a meteor struck it one of the mycelium. The mycelium mutated ever so slightly and began affecting the Fagerfolk. When the fagerfolk found out what the spores were doing, they fled. The disease then spread when the infected took refuge in nearby towns or villages, resulting in an epidemic of växenri.

Symptoms

When you first get the disease, you may experience symptoms such as: bad breath, fatigue, lightheadedness, itchiness, headaches, heavy breathing, weakness and slow thinking.   About eleven days after the host has received the infection, they will start to experience symptoms such as: glazed over eyes, feelings of anxiety, fatigue, swelling, bloating, blackened fingers and toes, muffled senses, raised temperature, staring into nothing with no thoughts for periods of time, lack of period, constant discomfort, headaches, nausea, overheating, dehydration, increased irritation, insomnia, pale skin, flaky skin, dry skin, dry eyes, food cravings, increased hunger, loss of Magik, nightmares when they fall asleep and more.

Treatment

Helande (a rare plant that typiclly grows from the person with v. Heat water over fire until it comes to a boil. once the water has come to a boil, add in the correct amount of helande petals (for every liter, add one petal. Grind the petals up with an Angel fruit and dump it into the boiling water). once the petals have disolved, take it off the water, pour the water into a waterskin and dunk it into ice cold water.

Prognosis

your gonna fall into a coma and die.

Sequela

Heart diseases, cancer and memory loss diseases

Prevention

to prevent växenri, one must cover wounds any open wounds, breathe through mask-cloth will do the trick- and avoid anyone with the disease.

Epidemiology

It spreads via breathing in the toxic spores. the spores come from the plants that grow through the persons skin.
Origin
Växerni originated from Ånska after it was nuked by harän during The War of the year Zero. it was caused by raioation mutating the iuttar in the iuttar forests. this mutation made the already toxic spores able to grow from living flesh. due to this the fleeig citisens caught the desease, and spread it without their knoledge.    
Side effects
Once the plants start growing, your side effects may include, blackened fingers, extreme pain, cracked skin, increased irritation, glazed eyes, everything sounding muffled and bleeding from ears.   The side effects may include short-term problems such as throat and lung problems, headaches, fainting, eyesight problems, nausea and even coughing blood. Long term problems include dementia, seizures, small changes in behaviour/increased irritability, memory problems such as remembering things that never existed and forgetting things, arm strength problems, depression, headaches, and lastly lightheadedness
