What is the Plumbob Virus?

The Plumbob Virus is a rare virus that once introduced is passed fairly quickly from sim to sim. The virus affects the body much like the flu, however children and teens are at a greater risk for more serious side effects including shortness of breath and weakened immune system.

What are the sign and symptoms of the Plumbob Virus?

The symptoms of the Plumbob Virus are similar to the flu, but are much more severe and include vomiting and runny bowels.

How is the Plumbob Virus diagnosed and evaluated?

During a physical examination, the doctor will look for signs that are indicative of the Plumbob Virus, including fever, coughing and shortness of breath. A sample from the throat and blood tests are also used in the diagnosis of the disease.

What is the treatment for the Plumbob Virus?

If the Plumbob Virus is detected early enough, it can be treated by plenty of bedrest and fluids. However a vaccine is being developed for more serious cases.

1. What is Stone Veins?
   Stone Veins is a rare terminal blood disorder that affects less than 1% of the sim population. The condition develops when the arteries that supply blood to the internal organs, arms, and legs become completely or partially blocked by the tightening and imflammation of the blood vessels. Stone Veins has a strong hereditary tendency, although the exact cause is unknown.


2. What are the sign and symptoms of Stone Veins?
   The inflammation of the arteries can lead to poor blood supply to tissues of the body in patients with Stone Veins. This can cause painful, cool or blanched extremities, dizziness, headaches, chest pain, and abdominal pain. Other early symptoms can include fatigue, weight loss, and low-grade fever.


3. How is Stone Veins diagnosed and evaluated?
   During a physical examination, the doctor will look for signs that are indicative of periphStone Veins, including weak or absent artery pulses in the extremities, specific sounds that can be heard over the arteries with a stethoscope, changes in blood pressure in the limbs, and skin color and nail changes due to tissue ischemia. In addition to the history of symptoms and the physical signs of Stone Veins described above, doctors can use imaging tests and blood tests in the diagnosis of the disease.


4. What is the treatment for Stone Veins?
   If Stone Veins detected early enough, it can be treated by suppressing the inflammation with medication. However, most patients do not improve, and stronger medications which suppress the immune system and relieve pain are used until the patient's demise.
