:::It seems more plausible since orange tears are a hallmark of bleeding eyes that it maybe be early signs of the disease, but, modernly speaking, there are one or two antibiotic medications that are known for kicking people with some unusual side effects, including orange tears or sweat. it would need to be a new disease or a superbug of something current (diseases with hallmarks like blood through skin and eyes are things like Ebola, Plague, and a River borne Virus i contracted once upon a not so great day) also, moving a thread of discussion we had in echoingthesound's forums here, maybe the bleeding skin is a poison the feds dropped/soaked/planted in the place, a great example that fits perfectly in this situation would be Fluids with extreme Base side PHs. --[[User:Killjoy|killjoy]] 20:13, 18 March 2007 (PDT)
::::FWIW, blood has a metallic taste. If the agent was covered in a mist of blood and/or was bleeding themselves, perhaps in a micro-fine way through their pores, then that could be the explanation. Furthermore, Sikes' "sorry" statement could be "You've got this disease now too. Sorry." It will be interesting to see how this plays out. --[[User:Mr z|Mr z]] 23:10, 18 March 2007 (PDT)
