Icno's exsanguination

The Icno's exsanguination is a disease that is caused by the use of Icno's blood to heal wound. This disease has helped lowering the numbers of Icnos being hunted down for their blood as the use of the blood for healing has lowered a lot since the discovery of this disease.

Causes

This disease is caused by the constant contact intravenous with the blood of a Icno. There is no other way to be infected with Icno's exsanguination, and other infected cannot transmit it.
This disease causes hemofilia to the user of Icno's magic blood and sometimes even hypoxemia, which is ironical as the Icno's blood is used to close wounds in an incredible short amount of time.

Symptoms

There are two symptoms:

• Wounds start closing slower, even with the help of Icno's blood. When the disease is too much advanced, the wounds will not close and the infected will die of exsanguination.
• Headaches
• Shortness of breath
• Heart and brain problems (in severe or advanced case)

Treatment

There is no treatment, but the infected can avoid death by stopping the use of Icno's blood.

Prognosis

While the first stage of this disease are not mortal and the infect can survive usually without problems, the last stage is dangerous as it causes the infected death. The death may be by a wound not closing and bleeding to death, or by heart or brain malfunction for low oxygen incoming.

Prevention

There is only one prevention, and it is really easy. Do not use Icno's blood to speed the healing to yourself or others. If an Icno's blood comes in contact with another creature's blood, the creature will contract Icno's exsanguination.

Cultural Reception

The infected are usually hated around Iphars, because it means they hurted or killed an endangered species.
There are exceptions though. Heroes that used Icno's blood to keep working, and healers using it for themselves are usually accepted, but never liked. They are accepted just because it allows them to keep fighting to save people, be it by killing dangers or by saving other lifes.
