Lorhekta Virus
Transmission & Vectors
An airborne virus, Lorhekta can be spread through breathing, coughing, sneezing, and contact with nasal mucus. Although the virus doesn't cause respiratory symptoms itself, infections do tend to rise during cold and flu outbreaks, thought by most to be its main vector for spreading infections.
Symptoms
The Lorhekta Virus causes an infection known for fatigue, rashes, joint pain, and headaches. It can worsen migraines in those prone to them, causing them to have auras, blind spots, and extreme sensitivity to light. The infection typically lasts between 5-12 days once symptoms appear, gradually weakening over time. Considered a non-serious infection, generally the only lasting effect of the illness is that those infected with it may have skin discoloration from their rashes that persist throughout their lives.
Treatment
Most treatments for the virus are over the counter painkillers, fluids, and in general taking time off from heavy work and labor until the infection clears. Infectees are encouraged to wash their hands, cover their mouths and nose when sneezing and coughing, and in public spaces, to wear a mask.
