A horrid, deadly disease from the Fertile Crescent springs forth.
It spreads by water, insects, body fluid, birds, rodents, and other small mammals.
First, those infected just get the general symptoms of a cold. Runny nose, sinus pain, sticky mucus, mild cough.
Next, those infected get a fever, shaky hands, a bad cough, and a loss in appetite
Then, those infected become pale, weak, a horrid cough (similar to Whooping Cough) abdominal pain, respiratory pain, wheezing, cysts, and drowsiness
Then, coughing up blood, dysentery, dripping brain fluid, delirium, seizures, coma, death.
All within a period of about a 1-2 weeks.
