 SCP-833 is a parasitic nematode only capable of infesting humans. Infestation by SCP-833 has symptoms similar to a mild case of trichinosis, often including initial intestinal distress, followed by muscle pain and fever. Symptoms fade after about three weeks. In many cases, infestation is asymptomatic. As with all varieties of trichinosis, the disease is spread by the consumption of tainted meat. SCP-833 is highly heat resistant, but responds favorably to standard vermicides, especially albendazole. What sets SCP-833 apart from more mundane members of trichinella is that in all infections, a small proportion of the worms colonize the central nervous system.
