The Pandora's Box virus, or P-virus, is a highly contagious disease released due to melting permafrost from global warming. It initially infected animals and then spread to humans through contaminated meat. Those bitten or scratched by infected individuals can also catch it. Symptoms include fever, brain inflammation causing dementia, necrotizing fasciitis, hallucinations, and aggression. Infected people resemble zombies and may attack without reason. If they die, they become even more dangerous as actual zombies.
