Steppe Dryness

A natural focal fungal infection. Infection occurs through inhaling fungal spores present on steppe grass or as mold. The disease primarily develops in the lungs; patients complain of shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat. Irritation of mucous membranes is observed, manifested as throat pain and eye redness. In severe cases of intoxication, patients experience joint pain. Ichthyosis develops. The risk of fatality manifests if the case is advanced, when the patient can't move on their own.
