One first turns a slight haze of purple, with blotches of green. Those are but one of the first symptoms. It is a tragic affliction that can only end but one way. After the first symptoms of slight discoloration, more let us say intrusive maledictions surface. It has been known to completely change the appearance of those afflicted with ILS, short for Inflammatory Language Syndrome. First one only sees the purple countenance and greenish blots. Then, when innocent bystanders are completely captivated by the change in appearance, the sufferer will most likely start to use clever language in order to subdue the intended victims. This of course in order to transmit the parasite to a new host. Time does not matter in this process, for the sufferer will use all of his or her energy to pass the decease on to others. There have been bystanders where an instant case of Tourette's was diagnosed in those directly observing the poor ILS patient. The change in appearance in the following stages of the sudden onset of the syndrome are quite appalling and certainly leaves the patient utterly shameful. Most transformations resemble those also found in the strange cases of high energy dissipation disorder, a high upper palate and an overall mouse like look. Do not let this harmless appearance lull you into believing the syndrome is benign or harmless. Let ye be warned! After enough shame, the patient's hormone levels will increase, triggering the final stages of the syndrome. At this point we do not speak of a syndrome anymore but in fact of a full medical illness, diagnosed as both an clinical disorder and a physical aberration in the lycanthropy area. Under most circumstances the progression of physical manifestations is now too fast for urgent medical care to take control of the situation. If the final stages of ILS are not manifested in a controlled environment the patient might not be well enough to find medical attention. Do not approach the sufferer, for this will push the hormone levels over the hill. Do not attempt to reason with said sufferer since this will most likely engage a second stage of the first phase of ILS.

Not sure if this conversation was serious or not I decided to walk along and ask Dr. Roberts later if he had heard of this. Although, perhaps I should not endeavor to make myself more ridiculous than the two gentlemen must have if they are true medical man with potential careers ahead of them.
