==Transformation==

All known monster species propagate by transforming humans into more monsters. There is no evidence that monsters reproduce among themselves, nor that any non-human species can be turned. The "infection" (as it is often inaccurately called) is spread by biting or stinging human victims, resulting in almost immediate unconsciousness. Approximately 72 hours later, the victim regains consciousness having been fully transformed into a monster of the same species as that which bit or stung them (with the exception of bug victims, q.v.).

There is no known way to reverse the transformation after one hour post-infection.

===Antivenom===

In 2014, US Department of Homeland Security researchers discovered an antivenom which can inhibit and reverse the monster transformation if administered within an hour of infection. Work continues on a means of mass production, but at the moment it is in extremely short supply and closely held by the US federal government.
