Silicone Shivers

The Silicone Shivers is the colloquial name for specific damage to brain tissues from errors in neural implants.

Short term
Immediate symptoms often include debilitating headaches (often very similar to migraines,) blood-shot eyes and small shaking and instability of fine motor skills.

Long term
If the problem is not rectified immediately, brain damage will be permanent and cause the advanced forms of the Silicone Shivers. Most notable symptoms are intense shaking of the body, inability to think clearly or make rational decisions. Extreme cases have been shown to increase violence, paranoia, schizophrenia, or any combination.

Prognosis
The prognosis for those who have the problem rectified within the first few hours is often quite good, with 90% surviving and 48% without any permanent brain damage.

For those who were unable to rectify the situation or were the victims of a massive Fault Zero incident, the prognosis is usually quite grim. Only 1% survive the ordeal with treatable brain damage while 30% die within the first week of the incident. After 24 hours of sustained faulting in the chipset, damage is irreversable and untreatable.
