ELID has been an ongoing problem during the exploration of [[relics]] sites, and spurred the development of the [[Weight Bearing]] protection system.<ref>{{cite|cf1|part. 2}}</ref> In early infection cases, before the 21st century, radiation sickness treatments were applied to no avail due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms of ELID. This posed considerable problems as relics research ramped up during the Cold War, since infection vectors were unknown and no protection or treatment existed, leading to an estimated 150 000 ELID infections worldwide between the first documented case in 1976 and 1980, with about 10 000 infected. 50 000 new cases had appeared a year later, with a higher percentage of Infected and new mutation forms. High variance in infection conditions and combat data rendered global studies useless. Countries started to create special units dedicated to manage ELID cases, like the Chinese [[Special Circumstances Armed Police Force]], but the infection rate of these agents was high. The [[Relic Arms Limitation Treaty]] and détente between the [[Soviet Union]] and [[United States]] permitted Anti-ELID vaccine research to begin in 1983, gradually reducing the number of cases.<ref name=Bakery9 />
By 2023, genetic augmentations were available to boost resistance against ELID.<ref>{{cite|cf1|part. 4}}</ref> In 2048, during [[World War Three]], the [[United States]] established the Aurora Experimental Unit to develop ELID bioweapons based on cheetahs, leopards and bears injected with Collapse fluid. Aurora failed to find a way to control these creatures before they disappeared in 2050, but isolated the DNA sequences responsible for their mutations by comparing them with he DNA of the subjects from the [[Black Lily and White Rose project]].<ref>{{cite|rc|[[Secret Documents#Experimental Unit "Aurora" Mission Overview]]}}</ref> Due to the collapse of traditional faith systems based on divine salvation after the Beilan Island Incident, new faiths based on transcendence emerged during and after World War Three. Many of these religions promised transcendence through ELID, in a blatant exploitation of the feelings of survivors who lost love ones to the infection.<ref>{{cite|rc|[[Secret Documents#Investigation into the Origin of Religions]]}}</ref> By 2064, severe Collapse Fluid irradiation could be treated as long as the patient had not turned yet, as exemplified by [[Angelia]] and [[the Commander]]'s survival.<ref name=CT31 /> Enough ELIDs existed in the Belgrade region in the 2060s to pose a significant threat to the city once the quarantine walls were breached.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso}}</ref><ref group=Note>In [[Continuum Turbulence]] E3-1, {{doll name|AK-12|AR|5}} says that ELIDs have been rare since [[World War Three]]. This is disproved by later stories where ELIDs are frequent occurrences.</ref>
[[William]] cultivated massive quantities of Collapse-radiation filled [[Epiphyllum]] flowers and created dirty bombs to infect population centers, in order to identify a pan-immunosome he could use for his plans. After finding the semi-immonosome [[Machlian]] in [[Germany]], he extracted large quantities of her blood to create an effective ELID cure.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ms|Cretan Labyrinth II}}</ref>
