Steppe Gastrodermal Fever

A viral disease caused by bites from the golden herb fly (Pluma herba aurea musca). A characteristic green rash appears around the bite area, and the disease progresses to affect the gastric mucosa, leading to vomiting and nausea. Some patients lose the ability to digest food normally and can only tolerate broths and liquid porridge. Symptoms also include extreme muscle weakness, exhaustion, and breathing difficulties. A fatal outcome is highly likely.
