Mountain Insanity

Mountain insanity is a terrible condition caused by the recidae. After being discovered in 928 AD by scientists that were in the process of taking care of a group of explorers, the scientists learned that the explorer who was bitten contained venom in his bite wound. After checking the potency of the venom, the scientists were quick to understand just how dangerous recidae venom is.

Symptoms

---

• breast pain
• cloudy urine (uncommon)
• cranium fractures
• eye twitching
• brain bleeding
• increased headaches that become migraines
• joint redness & swelling (not in all cases)
• mental damage

Cause

---

The cause of this condition from the bacteria in the venom of the recidae. This only happens when the recidae develops bad tooth decay.

Treatment

---

Treating this disease can only be done with suppressants.

Prognosis

---

1. Eye twitching and breast pain may start within a few hours of being bitten, but one symptom generally lags behind the other.
2. After the initial onset, breast pain generally fades away and never returns. Around this time, joint redness and swelling is experienced (by all cases so far recorded). The experience of joint redness and swelling generally leads to a decrease of the experience of eye twitching.
3. After a couple of hours, cranium fractures start to appear and usually results in brain bleeding or increased headaches that turn into migraines.
4. Throughout the course of this disease, cloudy urine may be experienced, but only in rare cases and often fades as quickly as it starts.
5. In the final stage, the brain has succumbed to the venom, rendering the person with a typical case of insanity seen in mental patients in mental wards.
