Now keep in mind according to BBB, page 186:
"The speed factor determines how soon after exposure the victim will
have to resist damage. For toxins, this is usually immediately, but
the time period can be hours or even days for diseases. The victim
must use a Body Test to resist again if that time period elapses again
and he is still in contact with the toxin, or still infected by the
disease."
Now with Vitas-3 having a speed of 12 hours, that would mean taking a
6D every 12 hours (plus the other side effects and symptoms), until
medical attention or magic can cure you. For the average pedestrian
person having Body of 3, that could very easily wipe out a few million
people in an epidemic. Wouldn't you think?
