Summary

"Rough Patch"

When a young woman’s skin begins to break out after a wedding, she doesn’t think much of it…at first. But as the rash engulfs her body, she begins to wonder if a person can die from eczema.

"No Warning"

When a skinny teen tries to build some muscle, he ends up white as a sheet and vomiting uncontrollably. As the boy’s condition worsens, doctors wonder if his health kick is to blame.
