Symptoms include: vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, high fever and minor hallucinations/delusions. Treatments include: full course of Type II anti-virals, bed rest and intravenous hydration. A vaccine was developed in 2028, but is not in the current UNS general spectrum of vaccinations. Recovery times range from one to five weeks, depending on level of care available.
