The Virus

What Is Centaurian Fever?

Centaurian fever, also known as Centaurian flu or “The Charm of Nessus,” refers to the condition caused by biomolecular changes in the human body as a result of exposure to the Ixionic race of visitors. In general, the term “fever” was incorrectly first applied in the early days of the virus before the extent of its impact was understood. Characteristically, symptoms present themselves early on in a manner similar to that of viral hemorrhagic fevers; however, this is only during gestation of the virus when the body is changing.

How Is Centaurian Fever Transmitted?

Centaurian fever is initially transmitted to humans by members of the Ixionic race. Once infected, the disease can easily spread from one human to another. This type of secondary transmission of the virus can occur directly through close contact with infected people or their bodily fluids. It can also occur indirectly, through contact with objects contaminated with infected bodily fluids.

 What Are the Symptoms of Centaurian Fever?

Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include fever, muscle pain, headaches, vomiting, and vision problems. Patients who succumb to the illness see their symptoms worsen and progress to bleeding from the organs and body orifices. In these cases, the prognosis for a patient is typically death.

How Are Patients with Centaurian Fever Treated?

Patients receive supportive therapy, but generally speaking, there is no treatment.
