**Item #:** SCP-9085

**Object Class:** Pending

**Special Containment Procedures:** As SCP-9085 infection is likely to occur while engaging in normal daily activities, reliable prevention is next to impossible. Once symptoms of SCP-9085 manifest, its mortality rate has been determined to be upwards of 99%.

**Description:** SCP-9085 is an infection of unknown origin with the ability to spread via an extensive list of methods. It is currently unknown whether SCP-9085 is viral, bacterial, or fungal in nature. While exposure is the most common means by which an individual will become infected with SCP-9085, a smaller yet statistically significant proportion of sufferers are born with it.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of activities during which SCP-9085 infection is likely to occur:
[[div class="column"]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Doing dishes
* Walking in the dirt
* Cleaning the garage
* Stepping through puddles
   [[/div]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Vacuuming the house
* Swimming in a lake
* Walking near animals
* Breathing in dust
   [[/div]]
[[/div]]

Once SCP-9085 has been contracted, the following initial symptoms could theoretically occur any time between three hours and nine years following infection:
[[div class="column"]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Headache
* Stomachache
* Dizziness
* Fainting
   [[/div]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Bruises and cuts with no known origin
* Nausea
* Paresthesia
* Vomiting
   [[/div]]
[[/div]]

It is possible that once an individual begins to show even one or two of these primary symptoms, SCP-9085 may progress. The alleged later stages of SCP-9085 infection are purported to involve the following symptoms of deterioration:
[[div class="column"]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Seizures
* Internal bleeding
* Vertigo
* Shortness of breath
* Paralysis
   [[/div]]
   [[div class="items"]]
* Foaming at the mouth
* Coughing up bloody sputum
* Rapid cognitive decline
* Coma
* Death
   [[/div]]
[[/div]]
[[div class="blockquote"]]
When I imagine SCP-9085 progressing quickly, I picture myself staring at the ceiling above a hospital bed no more than a week or two into the future, with everything I've been looking forward to all for naught.

Yet, I can't neglect to consider that it may string me along and wait until I have a better job, a nicer house, perhaps even a child by that point. None of it would matter once I'm staring at the very same hospital ceiling -- It won't matter what I've accomplished.

It gets tiring to see these images in my mind every day. Sometimes more than that -- sometimes I can't scrub them from the forefront of my cognition for even a moment.

**Addendum 9085.01:** List of Possible Sources of Infection, Past 24 Hours

1. It was raining today, I stood near a car as it drove through a huge puddle. I felt the sensation of water on my nose -- it smelled like soil and gasoline.

2. I noticed scratches on my legs. Logically, I knew they were from my cats, but I couldn't remember them scratching me. Yesterday I took a walk in the park -- isn't it just as likely that a rabid creature scratched me and I forgot all the same?

3. My husband picked up a dirty towel from the garage floor and tossed it to me to wash. I missed -- it hit me in the face. He should've been more angry when I lashed out, asking him if he wanted me to die. I hate how he's gotten used to it.
[[div class="blockquote"]]
The longer I think about it, the sicker I feel, the more real it becomes.

**Addendum 9085.02:** Research into Treatment of SCP-9085

--sertraline--

--fluvoxamine--

--fluoxetine--

--clomipramine--

--clonazepam--

--tramadol--

Additional possibilities for the treatment of SCP-9085 are currently being pursued, yet the development of a cure appears to be impossible.

At least now I can say for sure that I don't want to die.
