It spreads via blood-to-blood contact, no other way. It doesn’t spread through other bodily fluids (male lubrication, tears, spit, mucous). It may spread through unprotected sex, illegal organ grafts/harvests, shared needles, battlefield wounds, surgical errors. Medical: Hemocentric Neuro-Immuno Collapse (HNIC) Slang: The Lock, Blue Drip A viral protein evolved to bind a copper-binding motif in Skolexari blood, overcoming their usual resistance.
