Spattergroit

 * This is fairly simple-- the infected persons have purple boils on their faces. :P The larger the boils get, the more severe the infection. As the boils get bigger, it is more evident that they are purple. The way I see it... the smaller they are, the darker they are (which is perhaps why the one portrait mistook Ron's freckles for spattergroit?).

Cerebrumous Spattergroit

 * Since regular spattergroit renders the victim unable to speak when the infection reaches the uvula... I imagine this nasty spin has to manifest before that. So any time an infected person starts becoming confused, or having any sort of memory issues... that's the tip-off. I imagine that this strain is more violent, and moves quicker, than its counterpart. So the confusion/memory loss is set on... and then I'd say within a week, the infected person is then rendered speechless by the infection.

Spattergroit

 * Cure for Boils. It must be ingested, like regular liquid medicine, so that the internal boils (heading for the uvula) can be cured.
 * Outer boils can be treated with a combination of aloe vera, bubotuber pus, and dittany leaves.

Cerebrumous Spattergroit

 * Memory Potions and Draught of Peace, probably rotating to treat the memory loss and to help ease the confusion.
 * Treatment of boils can be the same as regular spattergroit.

Development of a Vaccine and Cure

 * Cure for Boils with a few added ingredients. I'm using the Magical Drafts and Potions listed under "Brewing Instructions" because that's what comes from Pottermore.


 * 1) Add 6 snake fangs to the mortar.
 * 2) Crush into a fine powder
 * 3) Add four measures of the crushed fangs to the cauldron
 * 4) Heat mixture to 250 for 10 seconds
 * 5) Add 2 Jobberknoll feathers Jobberknolls are birds that repeat everything they hear, and their feathers are used in Memory potions.
 * 6) Wave your wand
 * 7) Brew for 33-45 minutes.


 * 1) Add 4 horned slugs to the cauldron
 * 2) Add 2 measures of Syrup of Hellebore Syrup of Hellebore is an ingredient in the Draught of Peace
 * 3) Add 1 measure of Armadillo bile Armadillo bile is an ingredient in wit-sharpening potion
 * 4) Stir once clockwise, and twice counterclockwise
 * 5) Take cauldron off the heat
 * 6) Add 2 porcupine quills
 * 7) Stir 5 times clockwise
 * 8) Wave wand to complete the potion

NB: This by no means has to be a "final" cure. If someone has an ingredient they think would be better than the additions that I made (jobberknoll feathers, syrup of hellebore, armadillo bile) please feel free to suggest it. I also added the ingredients to the original brewing instructions sort of arbitrarily, and if someone has a better order or different suggestions, let me know. :P

Screen Process
Not quite sure what you guys wanted from this... seems like someone would come in with boils, be concerned, and get diagnosed?
