Transmission & Vectors

The only time a person is able to get the Sun Sickness is if a person not immune to the suns radioactive waves are out during the day.

Causes

The energy released from the sun as either a wave. Sun sickness is caused by exposure to a high dose of radiation.

Symptoms

The severity of signs and symptoms of sun sickness depends on how much radiation you've absorbed. How much you absorb depends you have been the amount of time you are exposed to the sun, the time of your exposures.

Signs and symptoms are also affected by the type of exposure — such as total or partial body. The severity of sun sickness also depends on how sensitive the affected tissue is. For instance, the gastrointestinal system and bone marrow are highly sensitive to radiation.

Initial Signs and Symptoms

The initial signs and symptoms of treatable sun sickness are usually nausea and vomiting. The time when these symptoms develop is a clue to how much radiation a person has absorbed.

After the first round of signs and symptoms, a person with sun sickness may have a brief period with no apparent illness, followed by the onset of new, more severe symptoms.

If you've had a mild exposure, it may take hours to weeks before any signs and symptoms begin. However, with severe exposure, signs, and symptoms can begin minutes to days after exposure.

Possible symptoms include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Fever
• Dizziness and disorientation
• Weakness and fatigue
• Hair loss
• Bloody vomit and stools from internal bleeding
• Infections
• Low blood pressure

Treatment

The treatment goals for sun sickness are to prevent further contamination; treat life-threatening injuries, such as from burns and trauma; reduce symptoms; manage pain.

Supportive Treatment

If you have sun sickness, you may receive additional medications or interventions to treat

• Bacterial infections
• Headache
• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Nausea and vomiting
• Dehydration
• Burns
• Sores or ulcers

End-of-life Care

A person who has absorbed substantial doses of radiation has little chance of recovery. Depending on the severity of illness, death can occur within two days or two weeks. People with a lethal radiation dose will receive medications to control pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They may also benefit from psychological or pastoral care.

Affected Groups

Mostly adults that are going out at night have a higher chance of exposer. However, some countries will have people working at a young age, so on rare occasions, children.

Prevention

Stay Indoors during the day time, or use magic at your own risk.

History

At the time, many believed that only one race was going to dominate An'kairn. However, the dwarves built underground homes and allowed other races such as elves and humans, to thrive. At the time, due to the amount of exposer, human life span was 20 years and elves where 100. Now, these races can live a full life span without much worry about the radiation. Decades later, magic used to protect against the radiation during the day, though it is still weak and unpredictable.

Cultural Reception

People who get exposed depending on the country, some may throw them and leave them to die. Some might try to help them. Others will ignore the sick.
