this AU is the result of pollen from a poisonous plant going into the nose of pegasi and earth ponies. LOCK YOUR DOORS. it is VERY unsafe to be outside. GET SUPPLIES FAST TOO. the 1st stage is pretty normal, cough, irritated eyes, but it gets even worse. they start experiencing seizures. tiny ones every millisecond, constant twiching left to right. then stage 2 is when they start vomiting uncontrollably. their still conscious, but they cant speak. stage 3 is when they vomit black bile. not just food, BILE. constantly seeping out of the mouth and open wounds. they're fur and feathers start balding, so they become a hairless husk. the cutie mark is not visible anymore. and they start to do a sound. like "eeeaaa" every time they're hungry. when they spot prey, they do this "wailing". like somepony crying heavily over the loss of something.
