Today we will be studying Item number SCP-532: Frost Bug, Object class: Keter.


SCP-532 is a pathogenic bacteria most similar in composition to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans. Several small flagella line the cell membrane, allowing SCP-532 to be carried by air currents into the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere. Due to a lack of energy source, SCP-532 will enter into a state of hibernation for an indefinite amount of time while in the atmosphere.
 
SCP-532 will leave its hibernating state once it detects warm air currents coming from the troposphere. The heat provided by the troposphere generally causes several instances of SCP-532 to turn into a "clump", similar in view to a snowflake. 
 
SCP-532 is coated in a chemical that reacts with the lipids of an exothermic organism's cell membranes to create an endothermic reaction. This simultaneously kills nearby tissue and provides a suitable temperature for SCP-532 to reproduce. Victims of SCP-532 describe this in a similar manner to the cold felt when a snowflake makes contact with human skin.
 
SCP-532 shows a 98% mortality rate if left untreated, 100% if SCP-532 is "caught on the tongue".
