Per 
Notice from The SCP Foundation Containment Division:
This file has undergone several alterations in the process of documenting this phenomenon, and is still going through extensive testing and research to understand what this anomaly is and to determine the next best course of action to take with it. It is imperative to anyone dealing with SCP-XXXX to be ready for any changes to the containment procedures, and to report to the containment division immediately should any developments occur.
Thank you.
Secure, Contain, Protect.
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept at a standard humanoid containment cell and provided with standard medical assistance. Request of removal of SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX-2 is recommended by the medical division, but has not been officially approved as of the writing of this document.
Description:
SCP-XXXX-1 is a set of red strings that have manifested on SCP-XXXX-2, who had been discovered by The Foundation after being admitted to Saiseikai General Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, on the 28th of December, 2019 for non-anomalous skin rashes. SCP-XXXX-1 first manifested after five days of SCP-XXXX-2’s hospitalization. A Foundation medical doctor planted at the aforementioned hospital had been present and subsequently reported the incident. Class B amnestics have been administered to the hospital staff that were in charge of SCP-XXXX-2’s care.
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Pending, proposed Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Individuals infected by SCP-XXXX are to be contained in any Foundation facility capable of providing standard medical supplies, such as bandages, alcohol swabs, painkillers, and the like that are closest to the infected at the time of recovery. Experimenting on ways to remove SCP-XXXX from the individuals is paramount, and any findings must be reported to the foundation’s containment division.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is an infectious disease that manifests in the form of red string forming on the skin of affected individuals, which increase in number with time, and tighten at varying rates, which will lead to bleeding, cut off bloodstreams, and rope burns. A small outbreak of this incident in the Mita district of Tokyo has occurred on the 30th of December, 2020, with several occurrences in Thailand, China, India, Cuba, and the United States.
No ways of removing SCP-XXXX from individuals have been found so far. Research ongoing.
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Individuals infected by SCP-XXXX are to be contained in any Foundation facility capable of providing standard medical supplies, such as bandages, alcohol swabs, painkillers, and the like that are closest to the infected at the time of recovery. Discovering a method to remove SCP-XXXX from the individuals is paramount, and any findings must be reported to the foundation’s containment division.
Individuals found to, or are suspected to be infected by SCP-XXXX are to be actively searched and captured, as a method of infection has yet to be determined thereby quarantine is favorable. In case of SCP-XXXX being an airborne disease, cans of antiseptic aerosol has been added to the inventory of all acquisition teams assigned to SCP-XXXX. Members of MTF “Maz Hatters” have been appointed to command all teams relating to the containment of SCP-XXXX, and are to be consulted for any insight on how to handle acquisition of SCP-XXXX.
With the increasing number of people affected by SCP-XXXX, The Foundation’s medical division has declared the SCP-XXXX phenomenon as a global medical emergency, and the outreach team have consulted with the UIU who are considering assisting us with these endeavors. Antiseptic aerosols and hygiene kits will be given out to the public with propaganda to incite the practice of self-cleanliness.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is an infectious disease that manifests in the form of red string forming on the skin of affected individuals, which increase in number with time, and tighten at varying rates, which will lead to bleeding, and in a newest discovery, dismembered fingers. Possibility of death exists, but has not occurred.
No ways of removing SCP-XXXX from individuals have been found so far. Research ongoing.
The following is the audio log of a conference call between Head of Medicine, Dr. Andreas Sokolov, Head of Psychology Dr. Simon Glass, and Ethics Committee Liaison Ceres Winnifred on the 18th of January, 2020.
Glass: Good evening, doctor Sokolov. Miss Winnifred.
Sokolov: Greetings. Skipping formalities, it has been a week since patient zero and we have not made any progress with a cure. Any attempt to remove it with tools or hands have no results, as strings are indestructible. Hygiene does not curb growth of patient numbers. There has been talk of neutralizing all patients to contain the anomaly, but surely, ethics committee is against that.
Winnifred: We are, at heart. Although if the patients continue to suffer to the point of death, there's a chance that that could be considered. Morbidity aside, I’m here to ask about the morale of both patients and doctors. Have both been treated ethically? The stress between patients in pain and medical research at a standstill could have become a feedback loop and resulted in desperation such as this, creating the idea of genocide as a viable option.
Sokolov: You said yourself it would be considered.
Winnifred: Consider doesn't mean happen. That's why I'm asking you, doc. Unless you don't want to admit that you've refused help from the Psych department to repair that piss-poor empathy you have like some sort of-
Glass: Before that, I’d actually like to know the status of patient zero. If there’s even a root to this anomaly, or at least a lead to an answer, it would most likely be tied to that person.
Sokolov: Yes. Patient is Kai Kunikida, male, 34, admitted to Saise…Saiseka-
Winnifred: Saiseikai General. Visited once to check up on our staff.
Sokolov: Thank you. Admitted for non-anomalous skin rashes, pain scale climbed from 3 to 7 in a day, prescribed generic codeine and cetirizine up until retrieval.
Glass: Thank you, but I meant in terms of a psychological report. How is he?
5 seconds of silence.
Glass: Thought so. Where is he contained at present?
Sokolov: Site-91. Medical building, ward 305. Current status stable but under medication, very lethargic.
Glass: I would like to pay a personal visit, but for now, have the psych department there take notes if he’s strong enough to talk.
Winnifred: We still haven’t talked about the immense pressure our doctors are under-
Glass: What is important is that we contain this anomaly, miss Winnifred. If there is no sickness to speak of, the stress can go all at once, and all’s left will be routine therapy to get everyone back in tip-top shape.
Winnifred: How do you know the anomaly’s emotion-based or some crap? For all we know it’s a viral infection or some advanced alien bullshit! If this doesn’t work, you’ll be subjecting people to the same stress without a solution, and Containment will bear down on us and kill every last one of these people!
Glass: We are running out of options, and you are contributing nothing but stress to this call, miss Winnifred. I don’t have a plan, but my logic is that if we can remove this by therapy to one person, wasting resources on individual therapy to all patients- and not only the patients, mind you, but the medical staff, who modestly count upwards to fifty thousand people themselves, should be unneeded.
If this doesn’t succeed, well, we haven’t succeeded in containing it anyway. It will become like the countless other methods that all of us from all around the world have tried this past week. If this does succeed, however, that will not only remove SCP-XXXX physically, but also provide relief to both patient and doctor, which is what we’re after, miss Winnifred. I can’t not try, miss Winnifred. Please.
Winnifred: …fine. But I’m sending Cimmerian with you. The minute things go south he’s reporting to me, and we’re trying something else. We are absolutely not killing these people. How many patients has it been now, doctor Sokolov?
Sokolov: Around two thousand in containment, estimated a thousand outside with or without symptoms. The common will notice.
Winnifred: You better make this happen. Worse stress than death in our hands is a veil break.
Glass: No promises.
End Log.
Glass: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Mr. Kunikida.
Kunikida: Funny. Not five thousand?
Glass: Do you prefer being called that?
Kunikida: No. No, no, no. Kai. Kai is. Okay.
Glass: Kai it is then. My name is Simon Glass. Simon.
Kunikida: My english is not very well, but I hope I can help, Simon.
Glass: Then we'll start with how this began. Kai, what happened, the day you first got admitted to the hospital?
Kunikida: I was very itchy for three days, then my skin turned red and rough. I went to hospital to get medicine, but it turned painful. Doctor said to stay at hospital to see lab tests.
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Individuals that have manifested SCP-XXXX are to be contained in any Foundation facility capable of providing standard medical supplies, such as bandages, alcohol swabs, painkillers, and the like that are closest to the affected at the time of recovery. Discovering a method to remove SCP-XXXX from the individuals is paramount, and any findings must be reported to the foundation’s containment division.
Individuals found to, or are suspected to be infected by SCP-XXXX are to be actively searched and captured to preserve normalcy. All MTF Units and Field Agents have been given authority to capture any civilians that are potential SCP-XXXX carriers, and it is imperative that any Foundation personnel that know of uncontained instances report immediately to the containment division in assistance.
By the order of the Ethics committee, should an infected individual reach a stage where they can no longer be stabilized, euthanization is permitted.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon that manifests in the form of red string forming on the skin of affected individuals, which increase in number with time, and tighten at varying rates, which will lead to bleeding, dismembered fingers, and death.
No ways of removing SCP-XXXX from individuals have been found so far. Research ongoing.
