Spectrox toxaemia

Spectrox toxaemia is a deadly illness brought on by coming into contact with unrefined spectrox. Spectrox toxaemia will first cause blistering and itchiness around the contact area. It will then cause cramps and spasms spreading outwards from the area. Later, there is slow paralysis of the spinal nerve, hallucinations and weakness and finally death. This process will generally take a few days.

The only known cure is the milk from a queen bat, though they generally only produce enough for one person.
