Phase 1: When the virus enters the body, it rejects any food except blood. This is because the virus begins to interfere with the taste buds and brain signals. The brain signals always tell the body to reject the food, even when the subject wants it. Blood will only be accepted. It will dissolve any food that enters the body and some food already in it, making the subject hungrier than before. Phase 2: The body will start dying and can only be saved when it consumes blood. This is because it dissolves blood, and the body needs blood to survive. The heart rate slows to decrease blood flow. The brain cannot control this action because of the virus controlling it. Phase 3: The virus transforms the entire body into blood to make a vampire. It starts controlling the brain to suck blood and any personality before is barely displayed, and on rare occasions, never displayed. VX‑26 restructures the host’s biology, replacing tissues with a blood‑based pseudo‑organism. How to stop it: The only way to stop it is to withdraw the infected blood. Then, insert new donated blood, which purifies the body, creating a stop to the virus. However, in tragic situations, the brain becomes infected, and the subject must be killed to keep the world safe. Subjects have attempted emotional manipulation, but the grip of the virus seems to be stronger than emotions.
VX-26 is a virus that rewrites DNA to be more Vampire-like.
