Which Horrible Disease Are You?

[mlerules]

Your Score: HFRS/HPS!

You scored 48% pestilentiality!

Ooh, obscure, but so so bad for us. My mother warned me about your kind, Hantavirus-scoring person. Here is the thing though - the actual disease name wouldn't fit in the box, so you are actually Korean hemorrhagic fever, which sounds as charming as it is! You take 2-4 weeks to incubate without showing symptoms, then you cause fever, bleeding, renal failure, and so on. An even more exciting disease you cause is Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. The lungs fill with a horrible brown fluid. Very fatal. You kill Navajos and Koreans mostly, so you are very much like white America. Good work!

You are transmitted by mice and their various leavings, which is quite gross if you think about it. Your name derives from where you were first discovered, which is Hantaan in Korea. See, the Korean War was good for something.

As you might guess from the name, you are caused by hantavirus, a member of the bunyavirus family.

I'm Lyme Disease, apparently...

So, if the ring around the collar's red, we worry, right?

I'm not sure nature has invented one to cover me.

Due to the nature of these things (which is to say not related to Nature in the slightest), you're probably a hang-nail or something equally benign. Karmic balance and all...
