Lycanthropy

Lycanthropy is the disease that causes humans to become Werewolves. It is highly contagious, but only under specific circumstances. When a Werewolf is in human form, the disease is dormant, but as soon as a Werewolf shifts into their alternate shape, the disease can be passed to anyone that the infected person comes into contact with through claws or teeth.

Because there is no way to identify Lycanthropy in a human until he or she shifts during a lunar event, anyone who has come into contact with a Werewolf in wolf form and recieved injuries of any kind is required to report the injury to the local authorities immediately and check into a secure facility for monitoring before the next lunar event.
