The effects are known to be reversible to some extent (Kawamashi Cr succeeded in creating an antidote, but Xantiax Robb Cr is beyond recovery) and continuous exposure is required for the effects to persist (Mamba returned to its original state thanks to by staying away from the Red One Motel and the meditation classes of the Fang Pi Clan.
