Choriocytosis

Copper-based blood life

In any being that has copper-based blood, such as Vulcans, this disease is fatal. A highly contagious infection surrounds blood cells, making them unable to carry oxygen. Symptoms include anxiety, extreme fatigue, dizziness, cyanoisis, trouble breathing, increased pulse, and coma. Strobolin, a naturally occurring drug, can treat the disease, but without it, the patient will die in the first 24-72 hours.

Iron-based blood life

This is merely a nuisance to beings with iron-based blood, such as Terrans. Symptoms are aching joints and muscles, slight fever, and irritability. Inflammatory and analgesic medications should counteract the symptoms.
