The Solanum Virus has no known cure or treatment besides rapid amputation of an infected limb (with only a 10% success rate). The Solanum Virus can only reanimate humans, and animals that are infected and killed before reanimation, and parasitic insects like mosquitoes will instinctively refuse to bite infected blood cells. It is transferred by fluid contact from an infected body, usually through biting or scratches, but it has also been known to occur from kissing, sexual activity, blood transfers, and organ donations. The Solanum Virus is 100% communicable and fatal. Time may vary depending on the health of the victim, infected area, and weather conditions. In approximately 20 hours, they suffer cardiac arrest and die, reanimating within 23 hours. Within 11 hours, the lower body is paralyzed and the victim feels very numb. Within 8 hours, dementia has become severe, the fever becomes stronger and they lose muscle coordination. Within five hours, the victim feels joint pain, a strong fever, chills, and has slight dementia. Within the first hour, there is immediate pain, discoloration, and blood clotting around the infected area. Many different explanation stories have been offered to explain this, from a government conspiracy, a military experiment gone wrong, organisms from outer space, an unknown ecosystem, or the wrath of God to punish humanity for various sins. Despite extensive research of soil, water, and air samples from every ecosystem, additionally, no samples have been found in any animal or plant specimen. No isolated sample of the Solanum virus has ever been recorded in nature. The new brain can use but is not dependent on the host's old body, which can now withstand extreme heat, cold, pressure, and pain.Īlthough the first appearance of the virus and Patient Zero of the global outbreak was in China (having been covered up by the government), the first recorded case comes from South Africa. The virus keeps the brain alive but dormant, and the virus mutates it into a new organ, no longer requiring energy, water, or oxygen.

It uses the cells in the frontal lobe of the brain to replicate itself while destroying said cells, killing the host by stopping the heart and causing widespread organ shutdowns. Solanum is a fluid-based virus that enters the brain via the bloodstream.
