Stage one: The host will develop simple coughing symptoms, which can be easily overlooked or passed on as a simple sore throat.

Stage two symptoms: The host's body will begin to start to develop bruises all over. Coughing has become worse, and over time the bruises will turn to red bruises that will sometimes have blisters, but it's not always guaranteed.

Stage three symptoms are rupturing flesh, extensive bleeding, and constant coughing. It's now too late for the host, as the red-flesh infection is everywhere around the host's body. This is where most infected people die from their injuries, but on most occasions, people will survive.

Stage four: The infected will develop a completely random new symptom, mostly puking out blood moments or an hour before stage four begins. The host is no longer human. Their skin will rip open before the transformation into a hostile monster has begun. They'll become hostile mutated beings with their mouths being exposed by the ruptured skin, although each person will mutate differently.

Mutated: The infected will have no control over themselves and will attack anyone they come in contact with, even other infected people. The fully mutated host will fear bright lights, including the sun. They are completely nocturnal. Due to their hostile nature, they never travel in groups and will always travel alone.
