...Research on the negative effects of [EXPUNGED] on the body of those who carry them is limited, due in part to a the small afflicted population...The legality of experimentation into the field is unclear, leading to a lack of confirmation of symptoms...Further, many whom are not impacted simply do not care to look into it...Thusly, this report is extraordinarily limited in its scope...

NERVOUS.

Neurapraxia - damage to the myelin sheath, causing temporary loss of function for hours to months.
Axonotmesis - axon damage, causing temporary loss of function and feeling for weeks to years.
Neurotmesis - damage to both the nerve and nerve sheath, causing permanent loss of function and feeling, as well as discomfort and pain with only partial recovery possible.
Arachnoid Cysts - cysts on the brain or spinal cord developed from the surrounding of cerebrospinal fluid by arachnoidal cells. They can cause headaches, seizures, and lack of muscular control.
Encephalitis - inflammation of the brain, with symptoms such as headaches, neck pains, nausea, fever, and fatigue.
Myelopathy - compression of the spinal cord, resulting in weakness, numbness, muscle atrophy, extreme clumsiness and more, depending upon the region on the spine.

INTEGUMENTARY.

Erythema - reddened skin.
Edema - swollen skin.
Telangiectasia - visible, enlarged blood vessels near the skin.
Urticaria - also called hives, a skin rash with raised erythemic bumps that often itch, burn and sting, and which last from days to weeks.
Vesicles - small, clear, thin-walled sacs filled with fluid. Commonly referred to as blisters.
Bullae - large vesivles, also commonly referred to as blisters.
Scale - thickened masses of keratin, which can be either dry or greasy, and often cause itchiness or pain.
Maceration - the softening and disintegration of skin, typically when exposed to water for an extended period.
Ulcer - a sore on the skin presenting with disintegration as deep as the fat layer. They often get infected and pus-filled.
Wheal - an inflammation of the skin that raises up and often itches, but goes away within a day or so.
Welt - a wheal that does not disappear after 24 hours. They are a type of contusion, and linear in shape, as if hit by a whip.
Fissure - a narrow but deep lesion in the skin.
Laceration - an often jagged tearing of the soft body tissue.
Abrasion - the traumatic scraping off of skin cells, sometimes many layers deep.
Avulsion - skin that has been torn off in one piece, but may occasionally remain partially connected.
Desquamation - skin peeling; damage to the upper layer of skin that causes it to peel away from the rest.
Induration - thickening of the deeper layers of skin which is occasionally very itchy.
Lichenification - thickening of the outer layer of skin, which becomes dry and leathery, often cracking and bleeding.
Skin Atrophy - the gradual loss of skin at any layer; outer layer atrophy usually presents as a thinning of the skin, and deeper layer atrophy usually produces visible depressions in the skin.
Necrosis - the mass death of skin cells. Typically they turn black, with blackened areas accompanied by numbness, pain, and a cold feeling.
Contusion - a bruise, which forms from the bursting of capillaries under the skin. They are over 1cm in diameter and not overly round.
Purpura - a type of bruise usually appearing in clusters. Generally 3-5mm in diameter and very round in shape.
Burn (1st degree) - a burn only affecting the outermost layer of skin and causing redness, but which can still present with issues such as edema and extreme irritation if covering 30% or more of the body’s area.
Burn (2nd degree) - a burn which goes deeper, into the dermis of the skin, which results in blistering, edema, redness, and severe pain.
Burn (3rd degree) - a burn to the layer of fat beneath the dermis, presenting with white, black, dark red or “charred” skin, and which may be painful in some areas but numb in others.
Burn (4th degree) - a burn to the muscle or bone, for which no pain occurs at the injury site due to complete destruction of the nerve.
Frostnip - the reddening and near-freezing of skin tissues in response to cold. If warmed up, no permanent damage remains.
Superficial frostbite - complete freezing of the outer layer of skin which causes it to turn pale, and even white. Though the skin will feel warm to the person, it is frozen enough to cause cell death. If warmed up, pain, scarring, blistering and scabbing can occur, but healthy skin will grow beneath.
Deep frostbite - complete freezing of the skin to to the fat layer, causing skin blackening, numbness and complete tissue death that cannot heal.
