Plague Z is a mysteriously modified form of the Rabies viral disease.

We would like to leave special thanks to Test Subjects #2, #3, #8, #12, #37, and #49 to WILLINGLY help with this case. May their families bless their souls.

Stage 1: Victims upon being bitten or exposed contact with infected fluids will begin to feel pain within the are of muscles that would spread as the virus makes it's away around your body.

Stage 2: Dizziness and fatigue would be present as bloodloss from the destroyed cells, but it would be somewhat mild.

Stage 3: Some patients also reported fear or hallucinations of decay or death around them, adding to their increasing attempts at isolation. This could lead to violent and aggressive behavior, and without medical treatment, it would quicken the infection of the viral disease.

Stage 4: Patients will begin to typically Vomit and/or feel Nausea. Muscles will spasm at this time but would be minor but would increase to dangerous levels as the patients will lose control of their brain.

Stage 5: Patients will become paralysed and would be unable to move. They are still aware of their surroundings as their brain decays and shuts down as the virus hijacks the brain cells and mutates them.

Stage 6: anxiety, brain death, coma, difficulty swallowing, dilated pupil, drooling, excess salivation, headache, mental confusion, seizures, or stiff neck would be reported around this time. But brain death will be the last state of anything of the victim being alive.

Stage 7: The body will sit there for a couple hours, perhaps up to 2 or 3 days at most. At this point it would decay quickly. But the virus would take advantage of the lack of defense and would finalize it's infection. Leading to the final stage

Stage 8: Victims' corpse will began to "reanimate" and will attack anyone on sight. Uninfected bystanders should move away from this corpse ASAP.

Stage Unknown: THis has been unproven, but it could be possible that the virus could randomly mutate to certain genetic defects and result in deformation of the human body in matter of weeks. Interesting note that the virus mutates in an attempt to adapt to a certain enviroment it is in. Urban or forrest areas would, for example, would likely have naturally selected certain patients to be able to crawl, sling, or temporarily glide around any tall structure to another. Survivors will have an increasingly low chance of survival if they lack the knowledge of this ever changing virus.
