A filterable virus native to Omega IV which dehydrates the body until it is reduced to white crystals known as “uremic frost”. Incubation begins when in contact with the atmosphere of Omega IV. Onset of the virus happens upon removal from Omega IV. Symptoms include thirst, concentrated urine, loss of weight, poor skin turgor, sunken eyes, fever, increased pulse with decreased cardiac output, and renal failure. The only immunity is found naturally within the atmosphere of Omega IV, and prolonged exposure can result in total immunity.
