"The reason they're like this is probably an infection from bacteria inside the mosquitos. However, once the mosquitos have been roasted by the fire, the bacteria are rendered harmless. That's why Taylor Vance organized everyone to catch the mosquitos and make them into insect patties."
Evelyn Ford's expression grew serious. "It's like an addict going through withdrawal. There's no cure."
What's more, the infected will attack others, like they have rabies. If someone gets bitten, they could get infected with the same bacteria.
That's why when someone came pounding on the door earlier asking for Evelyn Ford to come treat a patient, she never opened it.
"Ronan Kendrick, let's not go outside for a while."
"Okay."
