Infection (spoiler)

I tested the experimental build (41097) and I was surprise to see Carar infection even on my first dive. That seems no logical. Symptoms (skin lesions) should appear after several hours or even days.

    There's no way to tell how fast acting the infection is. It could be that upon contraction the symptoms begin instantly. It IS an alien virus, after all, so a human would have no way to combat it.

    From what I've read about later interactions and from what we can glean from the Degasi logs... I doubt it's that fast acting, and it coming up this quickly was unintended / a bug.

    Yeah, there's actually an animation sequence to show when you come down with it (player character looks at his / her hands), so I'd say it's a bug.

    True enough, but I'd less call it a bug, but more they just haven't implemented the stages of infection yet.

    A fish on my tank got it, when random world fish appeared with it. I moved said fish to a tank on its own and the spots disappeared.
    Later, I got it, and then a few days later mine disappeared and no world fish had it either.
    Now, I have them back again, but the fish don't.
    I guess they are just messing about with it.

    Never saw the animation sequence.

    I just think they've only really implemented the infection textures and haven't gotten around to programming it yet.

    Cutefish can also catch it.
