No, no, no, you don't understand my meaning! Sandray bites look different from Alacran bites look different from Bug bites and so on and so forth, and you treat the first two with Antidotes and the latter with Softs. Have you seen this specific type of bug bite before this epidemic?

There's noting to suggest poison in the bloodstreams from any of the chemical tests performed. Even a severe blood thinner should leave some chemical trace, a heightened amount of its product.

You're not answering my question! Have you seen these bug bites before! There could be a giant invisible mosquito with two mouths afoot and you are waffling around the question!

I don't specialize in that, I specialize in internal medicine. The city hospital's specialists can look into that. At any rate, an invisible mosquito is impossible, and something too small to see wouldn't be able to remove and carry this quantity of blood.

Go get a bug scientist, then. It could be some sort of swarm! Coming two at a time, very quietly, some sort of new blood-sucking ant.

Completely unseen, carrying that quantity of blood? If it were a swarm taking small amounts, there'd be more bites. Noticably more. The only possibility would be injecting something into them that thins out the blood and is removed through some 'natural', unnoticed process. Bowel movements, most likely.

At any rate, I've had them brought to the city hospital. Those specialists will certainly look into such a possibility, too.

But what would do that? It doesn't make sense. Unless it's some sort of new disease?

Hopefully.

It has to be some new disease. What would do that and how is my job to figure out.

Right. Good luck!
