Got a bottle of these while I was testing infection thresholds. They don't do anything. They appear to have a chance per life tick to flat out remove the target's heart - medical scanner came up with cardiac abscondment several times - but the patient would mysteriously regrow their heart very next time I scanned them. No messages or anything, the cardiac abscondment disease just disappears. Tried the last 10 units on myself, my heart vanished no less than three times and came back, never took a single point of damage.

This might be because Cardiac Abscondment is currently treated as a disease if I recall correctly, so maybe that's what's causing the issue?

I believe they're an old chem used for testing heart removals back when hearts were first implemented.

They are, but you can get them in traitor poison bottles now.
I'll take a look into this in the morning. Very odd.

Oops there was a safety check in the disease's code that I totally forgot about when I made space heartworms.
It'll be fixed soon!
