"Sections:

* Roots
* Contraction
* Bulbs
* Diagnosis
* Sprouts"

"Roots"

"Roots begin to form from the underside of Bulbs once Rooting stage begins."

"The speed of the growth increases as Rooting stage progresses."

"The base of the Root swells as growth continues, and the surrounding area becomes discolored."

"The Roots will continue forming until coming into contact with a bone."

"Once contact is made, the Roots are able to spread freely."

"Contraction"

"The following demonstration will explain how and individual may contract Deep Root Disease."

"Bulbs"

"Typically appearing on any normally exposed part of the body (arms, legs, neck, etc.), Bulbs are the first visible sign of Deep Root Disease."

"Bulbs can range from 2 cm to 10 cm across, meaning the growth may remain unnoticed for any amount of time."

"For the first few hours of appearance, Bulbs feel hollow and may be pressed down with ease. When Rooting stage begins, the Bulb will become solid, and those affected may experience pain when pressure is applied to the area."

"The area will become inflamed as Rooting stage progresses, small sores may appear around the affected area."

"As Rooting stage reaches its climax, these lumps will begin to form more rapidly."

"Inflammation then abruptly halts as Sprouting begins."

"Diagnosis"

"If you believe somebody you know has contracted Deep Root Disease, proceed with this very simple diagnosis test."

"Check...

* ...for a Bulb on exposed skin.
* ...for erratic muscle spasms.
* ...their home for unrecognizable smells."

"Ask...

* ...if they can recall their mother's name.
* ...if they have stopped dreaming.
* ...if they have felt new bones."

"If 4 or more of these tests describe an individual you know, they have become something else. Proceed with Protective Safety Measures."

"Sprouts"

"Deep Root Disease (Created by Remy Abode)"

"Gemini Home Entertainment"

## Lore

The video initializes with a view of flowers, while being a PSA from a health promotion company: WADH. It starts describing Deep Root Disease.

It quickly reveals this is an alien disease known as Roots, which infect humans, and create bulbs, which soon become sprouts. When going over contraction, it simply shows a man sleeping in his bed.

It then goes over questions to ask, bringing up that they will have become Vessels if they respond in a certain manner to four or more of the questions.

It then covers sprouts.

The Roots seem to be sprouting out, and as revealed in Home Invasion Help, is a representation of the stringy, moss-like mass the host becomes when in the final stage of infection, as the sprouts seem to occur in the "mouth", as a person becomes a Nature's Mockery, as revealed in Shifting Tendons.

The video concludes shortly thereafter.

## Trivia

* Remy Abode stated he found this episode the scariest in his opinion, due to the concept deeply disturbing him.
* Deep Root Disease is a real disease that only plants can get, being a type of Root Rot.
* Deep Root Disease is somewhat similar to Warts, particularly in the bulb stage (BE WARNED: WARTS ARE HIGHLY INFECTIOUS IN ALL STAGES).
