Also flesh eating viruses, which sound super scary, and could totally be a traitor item for a medical doctor/director gone mad.Only if they're giant, adorable, tile-sized giant space maggots.
It would also be kind of gross if medbay had maggots they could use to eat off dead tissue as a potential replacement to removing a limb wholesale. Then they could remove the maggots somehow and use synthflesh/brute patch to fix the person afterword.
It would probably be gross but it would be a legit medical treatment.
