I imagine it might, but bare in mind the fountain's transformation process isn't as "perfected" as the zipper's, so there's a chance the subject may not survive the process, and if they do it will likely be very unpleasant, both physically and mentally

One of the few SCP's that actually disturb me. Not that they're not all a bit disturbing to some extent, some more than others (let's be honest, SCP-5094 - Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse for example is relatively sweet/lighthearted SCP compared to most others, at least fro what I understand of it), but I'm in the same boat of being relatively desensitized to this kind of stuff (not trying to flex, I actually feel a need to step away for a bit when I feel like I'm being to desensitized to horror). I think a lot of what gets to me is the section with the dog who had parasites - I'd be panicking over my own dog having any form of parasites, let alone this kind of body horror. Things like this remind me why body horror is one of my favorite kinds of horror - can it be exaggerated? Yes, absolutely, this being a prime example. But also body horror is just having a body that experiences change.
