Blood rush

Caused

Blood rush only affects vampires and can occur under different conditions. It usually occurs when a vampire is very thirsty and can no longer control their blood rush. If a weak-willed vampire is nearby, the blood rush can also spread to them.
In rare cases, a vampire gets into a blood rush because it has been very badly injured and a bleeding human is nearby or because it deliberately no longer wants to suppress its thirst for blood.

Symptoms

A vampire addicted to blood rush rages without consideration. It attacks and tears apart any human in its vicinity while drinking its blood. The affected vampires lack a sense of satiety and the chaos that ensues when humans try to flee, their screams and the smell of blood incite them even more. Vampires in a blood rush can destroy entire villages.
It is even worse when a Nosferatu gets into a blood rush. Any bitten person who is still even remotely alive will also become a Nosferatu and in their first blood thirst will attack the humans. This can quickly escalate into an epidemic that devastates entire regions.

Treatment

There is no real treatment for blood rush. A few vampires regain consciousness with the help of a suitably powerful vampire when they are in the early stages of the blood rush, but most vampires can only be stopped by their death.
