Health Warning
FROM: CSIRA Regional HazWatch

DISTRIBUTION: Pacification and surveillance personnel, N'AmPac Refugee Strip

TYPE: Deficiency syndrome

SCALE: local

RATING: 4.6

Be advised that the local incidence of deficiency symptoms within the refugee population has increased between 46 and 47deg N. Latitude. Be on the watch for early symptoms such as hair loss, skin flaking, and shedding of fingernails; more advanced cases are developing massive bruising and symptoms of second-stage starvation (loss of >18% body mass, edema, incipient kwashiorkor and scurvy). Blindness, spasms, and full-blown diabetes are also expected to develop. This appears to be a terminal condition. Although symptoms are consistent with advanced malnutrition, samples taken from local Calvin cyclers test out as nutritionally complete. The cyclers are also producing the prescribed concentrations of SAM-g, but we have found less than half the effective dosage in blood samples from some individuals. BE AWARE THAT SOME REFUGEES MAY BE OFF THEIR MEDS, AND MAY THEREFORE BE UNCOOPERATIVE OR EVEN HOSTILE.

We suspect that something is interfering with metabolic processes at the cellular level and are currently running samples against the CSIRA pathogen microarray. So far, however, we have failed to isolate the agent.

IF YOU OBSERVE THESE OR ANY OTHER UNUSUAL SYMPTOMS WHILE ON PATROL, PLEASE INFORM THIS OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
