Bloedhoes

== Overview ==
Bloedhoes refers to a small family of transmittable coughing viruses that is transmitted by insect-borne vectors such as Dreglings and Grondmites. These insects will bite animals such as Terricans or Khadas which contain infected blood, and will then bite humans, depositing the infected blood into the bloodstream. 
Bloedhoes can be terribly disruptive to the human body. Symptoms usually manifest within 3-5 days and include numerous lesions inside the throat as well as severe and persistent coughing. These two in combination make for an extremely painful disease, as every cough the victim makes will break open the tender lesions, spewing out infected blood and pus. While the condition can generally resolve on its own, victims are often put into an induced coma and put on a ventilator to prevent them from doing permanent damage to their throat and larynx. It is not uncommon for those infected to permanently lose their voice from an infection, and need a mechanical vocoder installed, a straightforward process that can be done by Algemeen Augmentations, Inc.
