[@Wraithblade6]I think it'd be like a cancer as a disease. (I'll discuss with my biology professor about other possible similarities). Maybe over a few weeks it gets really spread through the body and then it basically kills the person as they have crucial functions stopped and rebuilt. Then the disease gets them back up because diseases exist to spread and killing things is actually not their plan.

ok that's decent. So in a way, they do kinda die, but it's not like they forget who they were.
