SCP-7120

Item #: SCP-7120

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7120 is unable to be contained, and must be monitored when an infection occurs. New dances that seem to appear as fads for the general public are to be monitored as well and lessened the exposure of them to the public to help with the new spread of SCP-7120

Description: SCP-7120 is a sapient viral infection that attacks people through the cover of a new dance fad for the time period. SCP-7120's early symptoms are usually the same as the common influenza virus. These symptoms include,


 * Fever
 * Dry coughing
 * Sweats


 * Dry Heaving
 * Nausea
 * Sneezing
 * Weakness
 * Pains in the abdominal area.

SCP-7120 will then start to differ from those symptoms greatly by making the infected person start to dance uncontrollably without a stopping period for the infected person. The victim dances themselves to death within a period of at least two weeks. The dance that affects the person differs depending on what is currently the biggest craze for dancing at the current time.

At the time of discovery, SCP-7120 was known as The Take on Me Virus due to the fact it was discovered when the 12 infected with the virus were doing a dance that normally was attributed to the song in question.

SCP personnel have found documents that date the virus first appearance being in the year of 1518 in France. It was originally known as The Dancing Plague. The virus was then historically linked through the years to more diseases that also involved dancing the victim to death.
