Phazon Fever

Phazon Poisoning is a condition that occurs when an organism is exposed to phazon, either large amounts in a short time, such as when a Leviathan crashes into a planet, or small amounts over an extended period of time, such as what occured on Tallon IV to many of the species that inhabited it. This "disease" either causes death or mutations in the lifeforms it infects. Though unknown, it may be cured if the phazon is removed from the envirorment, though it is likely a long process, possible taking generations in order to have a positive effect.
