The shivers is a condition that only affects
Weres. It is a feared condition among them as very little is known about it and with their strong immunosystem, the weres aren't used to fearing diseases.
Around 50% of those who contract the condition will die from it. Many also die from a compromised immune system and regeneration abilities even after having survived the condition.
Hey...you're shivering. — A friend to another
ORIGIN
The origin of the condition is unknown, but the first person to contract it traveled a lot in the outside world. It is believed that he acquired it there, which is why most weres live in Haven compared to people with other supernatural conditions.
TRANSMISSION
It is believed to be spread through respiratory droplets which only affect those with Were blood. Even humans not affected by any of the supernatural conditions like Were and Unliving can be carriers of the condition and spread it even thought they will not contract the condition.
