Translations:Codex: Taint/2/en

Low levels of genetic taint can be repaired via expensive DNA treatment. More severe cases are treatable, though not curable, and in some cases can scramble the user’s genome to such an extent that even the best gene-mods will fail to have an effect. Microsurgeon taint is easier to handle typically. A few days in a dedicated center can typically reverse it, but treatment is still very expensive, requiring a programmer’s individual attention. In rare cases, whole planets have been quarantined due to especially virulent strains of infectious, tainted microsurgeons.
