== Tropes featured include ==

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Infected individuals can have various advantages over mere mortals if they don't mind constant torture caused by the virus, such as having quite serious problems with skin, having permanent fever, being nearly unable to sleep or [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|turning into child]].

* [[Body Horror]]: Something unknown has got into your body, and you don't know how to force it out. It causes severe problems with health, yet it is not interested in killing you. You have to live with this infection not knowing what else it can do with you. Futhermore, as its power increases, more and more strange, horryfing creatures (themselves plagued with [[Body Horror]]) will try to get you (not for a cup of tea, if you wonder). And the only benefits you get are [[Lovecraftian Superpower~~|Lovecraftian Superpowers~~]].
