The Plague
Three weeks after the Siren Call receded, people began to fall ill to a mysterious illness that had no prior documentation. It became a plague centralized in the area and quickly became a priority to find a cure.
The Symptoms[]
The symptoms of the Plague Malaria are divided into two stages:
Initial/Infectious Stage
- Headaches and in some cases, Migraines
- Overall Flu-like Symptoms
Psychotic Stage
- Skin Lesions
- Nausea
- Dehydration
- Delusions
- Psychotic break
The Event[]
It started with a couple of people coming down what seemed like a very persisitent flu. It wasn't until the first lesions started to appear that the situation went from the seasonal bug to a possible epidemic. House takes the case of the mysterious plague afflicting the general population, mainly because Joshua and Claire are infected by it as well as several key people in the hospital. He sets up a diagnostic to figure out the origin of the deadly illness. Both he and Cuddy are severely doubtful that it is a Biblical plague, especially since it took place three weeks after the Siren Call, and he deduces that it is an unknown parasite.
