Spread of Deadly Disease. Beware! Part 2

It is late fall, the hunting season has brought about great trade in the locality. A lot of people in this small North American town came down with flu-like symptoms and no one seemed to be alarmed. Despite the rampant health issues the people experienced, everyone was more distressed about the unexpected acorn crop problem, followed by the disturbing sudden increase in white-legged mouse population in the county. Pest companies worked overtime to eliminate the mice population unknowingly creating another greater issue they are yet to discover.

In few days, a family member comes down with a high fever, followed by the spread of an expanding reddish rash. The doctor said your loved one will be better, the muscle and joint pain, fatigue, fever; swollen lymph nodes are normal symptoms of the flu and will soon go away after some time, but no one got better.

A visiting scientist did some research and conducted interviews. The findings were both astounding and horrifying. No one in town knew yet but the town will have to be locked down. The CDC representatives were on their way, a phone call was just made. A few miles away was your house, you have not had any sleep for weeks. You decide to enter your room, your loved one looks like he is fast asleep with his mouth open. You wonder why you cannot hear the soft snoring you have grown used to over the past 25 years.

You lean over and try to close his mouth. To your horror, he is cold and rigid, you start to panic, and a 4-inch mutated tick comes out of his mouth. A cold loud shrill screaming in your heart, mind and spirit out no voice came out of you. It is too late. Frozen in place, the over-sized tick bit your hand and has made its way into your mouth unknowingly.

Sounds like a movie teaser from an upcoming horror movie, don’t you think? Well watching movies like the Bay, a 2012 American horror thriller film shot in the “found footage” technique showing an entire city was devastated by absolute pandemonium after an astounding level of toxicity was discovered in the water of Chesapeake Bay resulting to a plague that turned humans into hosts for deadly, mutant breed of parasites living in the dark waters.
