Minotaur Syndrome

The Minotaur Syndrome is a variant disease caused by the Touched virus which in turns can cause the Touched Syndrome. It acts similar to the Touched Syndrome but leads to a greater deformation of the face as well as increased hair growth. Increased hormone production also results in greater strength and endurance of the sufferer. During the starting phase of the infection, the sufferer is also extremely photo-sensitive.

A cure for the Minotaur Syndrome is more complicated then dealing with the Touched virus infection. Histamine needs to be removed from the blood and the melatonin cycle needs to be reset to normal. Sufferers have no need for sleep and the production to melatonon drops to extremely low levels. If the individuals normal cycle is restored either through artificial injection or by forcing the individual to sleep at regular intervals then the victim is cured of the disease.
