Summary
World of Warcraft experienced a second 'Corrupted Blood' incident where a glitch caused the Withering Contagion debuff from the Brackenhide Hollow dungeon to spread uncontrollably across a server, infecting players and causing them to emit snot-like explosions of goo. The bug, dubbed 'Corrupted Blood 2.0' by the community, breached the dungeon's containment and spread to innocent bystanders, echoing the infamous 2005 Corrupted Blood plague that became a subject of epidemiological study.
