Image Name Description
Mouth Swab Used to take samples of diseased patients.
Diagnoser Put the used mouth swab into the machine and wait for a health report. Take the report to the Chem lab so they can create medication that you can administer to the infected patients.
Vaccinator Put a used mouth swab into the machine. Vaccines provide resistance to the disease but they do not cure it.
Bio Suit Used to stay safe from infectious diseases while also administering treatment and contaminating the outbreak.

Viruses & Diseases

INFECTIOUS
Virus Symptoms Treatment
Space Cold ? Ultravasculine
Vent Cough Coughing, burning insides Space Cleaner (janitorial)
Van Ausdall's Robovirus Beeping Beepsky Smash (drink)
AMIV Beating one's chest, monkey screeching, compulsion to steal Banana Honk (drink)
Bleeder's Bite Eaten insides Demons Blood (drink)
OwOnavirus Stutter, OwO-speak Theobromine (10u)
NON-INFECTIOUS
Disease Symptoms Treatment
Ultragigacancer No symptoms seem to be present. Phalanximine (min: 15u)

UltraGigaCancer

A deadly sickness that kills quickly. You will need a minimum of 15 units of Phalanximine to cure it.

OwOnavirus

(tag : lethal , admin spawn only) Disease resistent : 0.25 (not possible to cure with Spaceacillin) Spreads rapidly and causes OwO-speak, it also will add Ephedrine to your body system , making the host ran faster and a little stun resist. After roughly 25 minutes , the overdose effect of Ephedrine will kick in , and quickly kill its host. The containment procedure is to put on a bio-hazard suit and contain everyone who is infected, keeping them away from the non-infected population. You will need Theobromine of 10 units to cure this.


You could develop a drug that postpone the lethal effect of OwOnavirus , making you have owo-speak whilst surviving, and having all the buffs. There are two ways to approach this:

1. outheal the overdose damage

You would need a cocktail of Ultravasculine & Dex+ , and add in some tricord to heal the brute damage caused by Ultravasculine. Since Ultravasculine is difficult to aquire in bulk (as a non T) . This method should be used on cigars , where the amount of drug you put in there doesn't matter . 

(note this approach has a flaw where if the Ephedrine buildup managed to reach the max cap of chem your body can hold , you will still die of overdose. But it would take a long time)

2. change part of the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine

If you managed to change part of the Ephedrine to Desoxyephedrine , it would mean part of the Ephedrine would be metabolised faster (0.5/s + 0.125/s vs 0.5/s). But Desoxyephedrine will cause stuttering and Poison damage , which the former + the owospeak will almost completely remove your ablilty to speak something others will understand. 

And because you cannot see what is in your body (it is possible to know that you have more than 20u of Ephedrine when the overdose effect kicks in) , you would need to take the medicine blind. Not a suggested method unless you know exactlly what you are doing

Space Cold

Vent Cough

Van Ausdall's Robovirus

AMIV

Contain this illness as fast as possible as well, for not only does it spread quickly and cause chaos as the OwOnavirus, but it also can cause crime. Standard containment procedure is recommended.
