ISZ-48

ISZ-48 was a plague that started as an ISIS biochemical weapon released in Ankara, Turkey as part of a terrorist attack that was supposed to weaken Turkey. The plague was finally cured, but not before it killed a third of the human population. ISZ-48 is now completely a thing of the past, as the disease has cures now, and vaccines against the disease have been injected in every human.
== Symptoms ==
The symptoms act very fast but remain dormant in the body for a very long time before acting. The virus stays dormant in the human body for 15-20 days. The first symptoms are coughing, followed by a high fever around 4 hours after. The virus attacks the spinal cord and works its way up to the brain within 24 hours, invoking insanity. It eats away at the brain cells, and within 3 days of the first symptoms showing, death insues.
