In The Kindred, Part 1, Jennifer says about the Hoffan plague, "It's possible it was administered through their food and water supply."
If this protein can so easily be spread outside of the human body and through liquids, would kissing a person with the Hoffan plague be deadly to those whose bodies can't tolerate the protein?
What about the biological waste of infected individuals? Would burying Hoffan-infected individuals contaminate the soil and, if so, for how long? Would soil bacteria eventually break this protein down?
Could a mother conceive a child whose body can't tolerate the plague and could the baby's life be jeopardized during birth? Does the protein pass on to the children?
What if a Wraith drank wine poisoned with the Hoffan plague, being that their digestive systems are not active? Does the protein only work if it gets into their feeding hand or can it be absorbed anyhow?
I've seen some fans theorize the protein has to keep being administered, because it was called a drug, but always thought of it as permanent because of refugees such as the Balarians retaining it in their bodies for a long time and relocating and the Wraith not waiting for the protein to dissipate. Is this a drug or a permanent alteration?
Thoughts?
