The Termite

On July 23 of 2001, in a forest at Durrës, Albania, several people entered a burned house for observation, but when they went to the burned house's attic, they noticed that there was a lot of corpses, and a lot of winged termites all over the corpses. All of the people left the attic and closed it quickly before the termites could escape, and discussed about the termites, in the middle of the conversation, the termites were believed to be part of the family Hodotermitidae, and were also believed to be named as Epithetermes.
Epithetermes is a unclassified species of termite in the Hodotermitidae family. However, unlike all other members of the family, it possesses 2 pairs of wings. This species of the family is nearly visually indiscernible from other members of the family by a darker coloration. Specimen of Epithetermes have a currently unknown lifespan. After a death caused by any specimen of Epithetermes, large amounts of new specimen regularly materialize on or near the corpse, confirming an alternate anomalous method of reproduction.
The anomalous abilities of Epithetermes activate upon its death. Immediately after brain functions cease, the next organism to come into direct physical contact with any portion of the corpse will begin to display a progression of anomalous symptoms. A story regarding a massacre caused by a termite was spread on various social media, and it was explained that the affected victims of the termite were being taken into quarantine.
All stages of the progression of the anomalous symptoms that occur after coming into direct physical contact with Epithetermes or the corpse are included below, and were mentioned and talked about on social media:
*Stage 1: Manifests 1-2 hours after initial contact. The victim will begin to experience mild visual hallucinations, visualizing termites crawling on their feet within their peripheral vision, reflective surfaces, or a combination of the two. These hallucinations occur an average of twice hourly. The hallucinations may cause the victim to slap their feet or shake the hallucinations off their feet. The hallucinations are also tactile.
*Stage 2: Manifests after 1 day after onset of Stage 1. The visual hallucinations spread to the knees of the victim, which causes the victim to scratch the hallucinations violently. Victims also report the hallucinations getting more ticklish and increasing in a chance of causing annoyance.
*Stage 3: Manifests 2-4 days after onset of Stage 2. The hallucinations will spread to the upper body of the victim, and will begin to spread to the arms and neck, resulting in sleep deprivation and in a state of panic. Mild discomfort is noted in 34% of cases.
*Stage 4: Manifests 6-8 days after onset of Stage 3. The hallucinations will begin to cover the entirety of the victim's body, except for the eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth. Causing the state of panic to intensify.
*Stage 5: Manifests 5 minutes after onset of Stage 4. At the beginning of Stage 5, the hallucinations will become real, ceasing to be hallucinations. In which point all the termites will bite the victim. Victims have reported this point as very painful, painful and deadly for these with low health. From there, the victim will become paralyzed. Then, the termites will enter the victim's orifices (nostrils, and mouth) for hiding purposes. The victim's paralysis will end when the termites had hid in the victim, when the victim gets up, the termites will escape from the subject through the nostrils and mouth.
The information about the termite has been posted in an Albanian blog, when the blog post was found, the viewers of the blog post commented on it and said was all fiction.
3 years after the blog post was created, a man at Sarandë, Albania contacted a local hospital saying that he thinks he has termites within his lungs, sinuses, and throat. The man was treated 1 hour later, the incident appeared on Albanian news websites, and a lot of people who saw the incident said it reminded them of that blog post.
It has been confirmed that in 54% of cases, that, if the mouth was open when the victim was paralyzed, the termites may sometimes go down the trachea and live inside the lungs.
