《命令与征服3：泰伯利亚战争》情报数据库GDI档案—泰伯利亚污染对健康的影响(6/10)

What happens if you're exposed to Tiberium? Nothing good. If you come into direct contact with Tiberium, the green matter will start to fuse with your skin within about 20 seconds. You'll feel an intense burning sensation, similar to touching a hot pan or spilling acid on your skin. A full blown infection will manifest if you aren't treated immediately. Your flesh will begin to take on a glassy-greenish appearance as it begins to crystallize; eventually your internal organs will shut down as Tiberium extends rigid crystalline runners throughout your body. If you breathe in the crystal, then it will become embedded in your lungs. You'll lose the ability to process oxygen as your lung tissue crystallizes. Eventually you'll start coughing up blood and will hemorrhage to death.

 In some cases - and for unknown reasons - Tiberium infection will trigger cellular mutation.  It's not cancer in that the mutations seem strangely directed; they don't kill you, but your body will begin to transform. The mechanism for this mutation is not well understood.

如果你暴露在泰伯利亚下会发生什么？没什么好事。如果你直接与泰伯利亚接触，那种绿色的晶体会在20秒内与你的皮肤粘在一起。你会感到一种强烈的灼烧感，就像触碰了一口热锅或者把酸溅到你的皮肤上。如果没立刻治疗，你就会被完全感染。你的肉将开始呈现一种玻璃绿的外观，因为已经开始结晶了。最后你的器官停止工作，因为泰伯利亚的坚硬结晶已经扩散到全身各处。如果你吸入晶体，它就会镶进你的肺里。当肺部结晶时你就会失去处理氧气的能力，最终你开始咯血，然后因出血而死。

 在一些案例中——因为不知名的原因——泰矿感染会引发细胞突变。这不是癌症，因为突变似乎是不可思议的定向突变；它们不会杀了你，但你的身体会开始转化。这种突变的机制尚不清楚。
