The ulcer has a cartilaginous consistency at the edge and base.  These chancres were to be found on the external genitalia of most of the men, but in a few they were found in the anal canal and/or mouth. These odd lesions were discrete, firm, mobile, and painless, without overlying skin changes, and healed spontaneously in 3-7 weeks.</blockquote>

The exanthem may be macular, papular, pustular, or mixed. Typically these lesions were round, discrete, nonpruritic, and symmetric macules distributed on the trunk and proximal extremities. Red papular lesions also appeared on the palms, soles, face, and scalp and, in some cases, became necrotic. Patchy and nonpatchy alopecia occured in some cases. In intertriginous areas, papules occasionally coalesced to form highly infectious lesions which I promptly dubbed "condylomata lata".  It should also be noted that these mucous patches were superficial mucosal erosions, usually painless, and seemed to develop on the tongue, oral mucosa, lips, and genitalia.</blockquote>

	An insidious invention of that [[Theoalchemy\|theoalchemical]] mastermind [[Harv Gretborn]], the '''snotgun''' is the finest example of applied biological warfare known to Ghyll. As implied by the name, the snotgun fires mucous missles of incredible infectiousness. Very similar to the ingenious repeating musket recently seen in the hills surrounding the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]], the snotgun fires its slimy slug, encased in a crunchy shell, with great velocity. The impact, though stinging, is generally only enough to rupture the casing which then exposes the target to gruesome goober contained therein. And there lies the genius of the weapon! For what soldier of any stripe can resist sticking their finger in something alien and gooey! Once the poor front-line grunt has fallen for the lure, the the baneful bullet goes to work.

		+	The really nasty thing about the snotgun is not the slimy slug itself, but the deadly diseases carried in the runny round. These are gathered by various low-wage workers in assorted zoological venues. Freshly made mucous is harvested from many different animals, including, but not limited to [[Aelfants]], [[Burnflies]], Dwarf Tree [[Aelfants]], Eye Suckers, [[Phaelros]], [[Pyxie]], and Tree Eels. Of course, some of the potent projectiles are manufactured from the mucous drippings of the terrible Ebony-Headed Marrow-Sucker and, while few things are worse than a case of [[Burnflies\|Burnfly]] Blight or The [[Pyxie]] Pukes, neither of these compare with ... which is the result.
