For example, is "beastized man" considered a member of human society?
Should we admit that the city-states established by the Beastized Human Race in the old and new continents?
Should "beasted people" be accepted into a civilized society, or should they be eliminated vigorously?
These controversies about "beast-oriented" are enduring hot topics in salons of the upper class and clubs in the middle class, often prompting people to insist on their own opinions and blushing and thick neck.
"Insect disease", a popular team of professionals engaged in relevant research around the world, add up to less than ten fingers, and outsiders are even more indifferent to this.
"Veterinarianism" is so popular that even Joan's landlord, Mrs. Anderson, can tell two horror legends about "girls becoming werewolves" at the dining table.
The difference in the degree of attention between "Insecticide" and "Veterinary Disease" is so great. Which subject is easier to win fund support, easier to publish papers, and more likely to bring academic reputation, university teaching and even monetary benefits to researchers ,it goes without saying.
People's time and energy are limited, and scholars are no exception. For rational considerations, they will naturally tend to choose popular topics.
However, amateurs like Joan do not have the ambition to become a family, nor do they eager to publish core journal papers or seek a paper for a teaching post. They do not expect to earn money to support their families through research, but they do not care much about the topic. Or not.
Of course, Joanne is not entirely interested in doing research. After all, he is an "insecticide" infected person. Even if he is only thinking about his own health, he has to pay more attention in this regard.
Judging only from the relevant information available, an organism infected with "insecticide" will initially have no symptoms. Until the full moon night, the virus lurking in the body will attack violently.
Infected persons with "insectosis" always involuntarily change to the form of insects corresponding to the virus they carry on the first month of illness.
During this period, patients will completely forget their identity and maintain the insect form until the dawn of the next day.
When sunlight replaces moonlight on the patient, the viability of the insecticide virus also decreases and enters the latent state again.
At this time, the patient will be able to regain consciousness and be puzzled by his giant worm form.
Most patients are unable to recall the details of the night of the illness and cannot accept the brutal reality of turning into giant worms, which is a nightmare, so that they collapse and become mad.
Once the patient is out of control, the virus will cause damage to the brain that is difficult to heal, and the behavior will become more and more like a real insect, and the attack will become more and more aggressive.
If the patient is located in a densely populated town or village, his abnormal behavior will soon be noticed by his family and neighbors, which will lead to fierce confrontation.
The natural weapons of patients with "insectosis", such as jaw forceps, sharp teeth, claws, and bee needles, all carry insecticidal viruses. If they cause trauma to others during the fight, they will likely infect the victims with insecticidal viruses.
Whether it is for fear of giant insects or for the purpose of preventing the spread of the virus, most human communities will not allow uncontrolled worms to move freely.
People usually follow mainstream religious rituals everywhere, treating patients as demons and dividing by fire.
Although this is cruel, I have to admit that high temperature is the easiest and most effective way to kill insect virus.
There is no danger of spreading the virus to the patients with parasitic diseases burned to ashes.
Very few out-of-control patients may continue to survive under the care of their families.
But as the virus's damage to the brain deepens, life habits and ways of thinking are becoming more insect-like and can no longer communicate with family members.
This situation continues, no matter how frustrating the family is, for safety reasons, it can only isolate the more and more crazy patients and live the life of isolated prisoners until death.
Among all credible cases of insectification, according to the statistics of the researchers, less than one-tenth of the patients can find themselves after the first night of onset, with strong willpower, and try to change back to human form .
These very few lucky people are the so-called "worms".
"Insects" will have a clear understanding of their physical condition, they will not forget their identity, and usually, their behavior will not be out of control.
However, when the next full moon night arrives, or the blood is injured during the battle, the virus in the "worm" will become active, prompting the host to become out of control, furious and irritable, resulting in a strong impulse to transform into a worm form.
Only people with strong willpower can contain this violent impulse.
However, considering that there is such a day of emotional out-of-control every month, plus the situation of accidental injury, in terms of probability, no matter how strong a person's self-control is, it may eventually be out of control.
Once driven out of control by the virus, the spirit will irretrievably collapse, and the consequences will be the same as those of the patient who was out of control at the beginning.
In fact, it is not a good idea to use your will and luck to resist the emotional loss caused by the changes in the moon phase.
Relatively speaking, spells such as "stable mind" can more safely protect patients from madness.
If the conditions permit, the "worm" will always carry at least one bottle of "stable mind" potion, and take it on the night of the full moon or when it is accidentally injured to prevent the mental out of control.
The medicine prepared with Belladonna twig extract, after oral administration, can also play a similar effect to the "stable mind" potion.
In addition, Qiao An also found a way to completely cure "insectosis" in a document.
Infected people who receive "remove disease", "medical surgery", or other similar magic techniques can cure the disease.
Seeing this, Joan secretly relieved.
If low-level magic techniques like "removing disease" can cure "insect disease", there is nothing to worry about.
In addition to consulting the relevant literature on "Insecticide", Joan also read many articles about the biological structure and living habits of bees today.
He picked out the passages that were useful to him, copied them to his notebook, and then left the library and returned to the apartment.
At dinner, Qiao An was still thinking about his illness and was absent-minded.
Audrey saw that he had something in mind, and casually asked him what he was busy with. He went out early in the morning and returned only after dark.
Joan stared at the paladin across the table, and she kept talking.
The concern in Audrey's eyes moved him. He also knew that Audrey's "holy treatment" also has the effect of "removing disease." As long as he tells the truth, Audrey can help him get rid of the disease.
However, Joan turned to think about it, but still felt that it would be better not to announce the news of his infection.
