Neuropathy is cased by a flesh-eating and poisonous bacteria, with an uncanny ability to remain invisible. The trick however, to reveal its existence is to destroy the colony. Ravages left behind always unveil the spread, where it once feed and thrived.

The sedative

The ghost-bacteria feeds on flesh which would be painful if it weren’t for the sedative released by it. Its toxicity, is abundant and a powerful tranquilizer. 

More often than not, colonies are small and damages to the host is negligible. The dreadful Neuropathy however, is triggered when two things happen; colonies expand beyond capacity and flesh-reconstruction falls behind. 

Maintenance

Worth mentioning; after the first round of destruction the host will experience spars returns and has to stay on top of those small incursions.

Bacteria spreads from person to person, at time and places least expected. Rebounds are common in hands and feet as those areas pick-up seedlings. 

After a few hours, for instance on a golf-course pins-and-needles were hints of seedlings spread by the breeze. 

Ghost-bacteria in nature is very common and search-and-destroy is a must, as needed.
