 Item █ SCP-2484 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-2484-A is to be kept in a standard refrigerated perishables locker. Security clearance of level 3 or higher is required to access SCP-2484 or any amount of SCP-2484-A. During testing, no more than 400 grams of SCP-2484-A should be removed. No potentially destructive tests are to be authorized for SCP-2484 at this time. Description SCP-2484-A is a jar containing approximately 0.95 liters, 1024 grams, of a substance that is compositionally identical to mayonnaise, hereafter referred to as SCP-2484-A, that possesses numerous anomalous qualities that begin to manifest when the substance is removed from the jar and consumed by a vertebrate animal. When SCP-2484's contents are removed, it will begin spontaneously refilling out a rate of approximately 2 milliliters an hour. SCP-2484-A is able to be destroyed by any means applicable to non-anomalous mayonnaise. Any amount of SCP-2484-A less than 5 grams does not display unusual properties, and is indistinguishable from typical mayonnaise. Masses between 5 grams and 63 grams will begin to develop a congealed membrane over their surface, and begin slowly locomoting via crude pseudopod-like structures, seemingly without direction. Masses of SCP-2484-A between 63 grams and 235 grams will begin moving as described, but will attempt to coat solid food or immerse itself in potable liquids. Masses from 235 grams to 804 grams will actively attempt to make their way inside vertebrate animals through any available means, including oral, nasal, oral, ocular, rectal, or genital orifices, open wounds, and sweat pores. Any mass of SCP-2484-A exceeding 804 grams up to the full mass of 1024 grams will violently force itself into vertebrate animals, most often through oral orifices, although occasionally resorting to forcefully pushing through the skin. Typical anomalous qualities will begin manifesting of a subject in just a sufficient quantity of SCP-2484-A, approximately 3 grams per kilogram of body weight. When a subject has consumed enough SCP-2484-A, its metabolism will be altered slightly. Typically resulted in higher blood sugar levels, elevated heart rate, increased body temperature, and decreased brain function. After consumption, the subject will begin metabolizing SCP-2484-A into small, gamet-like cells via a process that has not yet understood. Over the next three to six hours, these cells will develop into small, approximately one millimeter dematoid worms. Approximately 500 worms are produced per gram of SCP-2484-A consumed. For the next five to forty hours, these worms will begin to consume the tissues of their host organism and will grow the lengths of up to 12 centimeters. When the hosts have been completely consumed, the worms will attempt to eat each other and will proceed until only one worm is left, which will have grown to a length between 20 and 30 centimeters. This organism will then enter a dormant state and will die within four days. If worms are removed at any point, they will die within five hours. No attempts to save affected organisms have met with success, and consumption of sufficient amounts of SCP-2484-A is always lethal. Addendum 2484-1 SCP-2484 was recovered on September 9, 2000, from ████████, sandwich shop in ████████, Massachusetts, after Foundation operatives intercepted several reports of unusual parasite activity. SCP-2484 was found in the refrigerator alongside several other non-nomeless jars of mayonnaise and other food items. When questioned, staff could not explain where SCP-2484 had come from and had no memory of how long it had been in the refrigerator. After confiscation of SCP-2484, all ████████ sandwich shop employees and 14 medical and EMS personnel were given class D amnestics. Addendum 2484-2 The following is a transcript of the ingredients listed on SCP-2484's label. Water, vegetable oil, vinegar, eggs, eggs, eggs, eat, eggs, be, eggs. Your flesh is but the nursery and sustenance of our incalculable ravenous mouths. Eat eggs, consume us, let us be realized within you, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and love.
