SCP-164-Squid Tumor

Item #: SCP-164 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-164 cell cultures shall be contained according to standard Level 3 Biohazard containment procedures, and samples shall be clearly labeled and stored in a cryogenic biological storage unit maintained at 10ºC. SCP-164 is pathogenic but not highly contagious, and standard latex gloves and a face mask are sufficient to prevent disease transmission when dealing with untreated cultures or infected individuals. Personnel unintentionally infected with the item shall undergo 6 months of chemotherapy and, if necessary, surgical intervention following the first appearance of symptoms. In the event of a civilian outbreak, containment procedures shall follow Infectious Material Covert Action Alef-█. Description: SCP-164 is a cancerous cell line that forms tumors resembling malignant sarcomas in its host. Although the cells' DNA is primarily derived from human DNA, these cells have effectively become a species of asexually reproducing, single-celled parasitic organisms.
