The Chesire Disease

File 1, Cheshire Disease: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This disease is very infectious, and quite dangerous in populated areas. The first instance of this disease goes as far back as from [REDACTED] to [REDACTED]. The location of the first effected was believed to have shown up in the Crestfall District, but reports show that it can be traced back to a few different cities, all now long abandoned.

The first stages of this disease are normal in appearance, and do not affect the subject in major ways. Some effects are: - Nausea - Fever - Body aches - Stomach pains And last but not least, light anemia. This list goes on, but for the sake of brevity in this document, only these symptoms will be listed. More details can be found at [REDACTED] for the first stages.

The medium stages are higher level in severity, causing long term health risks and damages. Multiple studies show a heavy mental decline in patients around this point, and some have reported bleeding from the eyes and mouth. This is suspected to be due to internal bleeding, and hemorrhages. The last stages are responsible for this disease's namesake, due to the symptoms and effects it puts the patients through.

Slowly, after a brief respite (proving that it shows promise to trick the patient's mind into believing that they are not infected any longer) it will take hold of the functions in the brain surrounding memory, and relationships. In a wild response, the brain stem enlarges just slightly, increasing the need to take care of normal habits to live like eating and drinking. This is the body's attempt to compensate for the confusion, with an increased care for hunger.

This, combined with the many physical deformations on the body of the patient, slowly turns them into a horrifying creature, reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat. However, some patients have been reported to have the symptoms only stay at the second to last stage, and their progress is slowed. This seems to be due to already existent health conditions, which collides with the disease's directive.

This disease is primarily transmitted by blood.

A temporary vaccine is in progress of being made, however it is only in the experimental stage of its development. The side effects are minor in comparison to the disease, but go as follows: Dizziness, Heart palpitations, Psychotic episodes, Hallucinations, and Headaches.
