Proposal: And the prescription is More Cowbell [Trivial]

If a rule named Affliction Gene exists, create a new Affliction and add it to the list at the end of the rule:

Fever

Represented by the character "f". If there are fewer than three Fevers in play, a Strain may create a Fever by paying 10 Size and give it to any other Strain. A Strain with a Fever may pass it to another Strain by paying 5 Size. Also, a Fever will pass to a Predator if they attempt to Consume a Fever-afflicted strain. When a Fever passes to a new Strain, the old Strain's Enome[6] shall revert to the value "X".

A Strain with a Fever cannot Synthesize or Consume. Hunger may not be inflicted upon a Predator with a Fever.

[Fixed the vagueness of passing.]
