Will the Carar effectively kill you?

When the whole concept of the character being infected with this extremely aggressive bacteria was implemented in the game i was under the impression that if not cured in time it would eventually take its toll and kill you in the long run, were the player not fast enough to get the cure in time. I've played lots and lots of games since then, many of them i survived well over 100 days and never did the carar killed me outright. I know for a fact that somewhere in the game it is specified that the Carar usually kills anyone infected within something like 2-3 weeks at most after the initial infection.
Now i know the game is still in development but we're nearing the end of new content implementation and this question is still to this day unanswered so i decided to ask out if anyone in the community had found an answer to this one. Ive searched on the web but did'nt find any so far ....

I am glad though that they didn't make it a virus, as anyone who knows the first thing about viruses and immune responses would know that an alien virus would be completely unable to affect a human, any more than a computer virus could.
However, telling you why that is is kind of a major spoiler. But, if you want to know...
Every time the player consumes a peeper, they consume a dose of enzymes that counteracts the carar bacteria. Since peepers are the base of a food chain, it's reasonable to assume that many surface creatures also carry trace amounts of the enzyme.
What if you are playing on freedom mode? And if the player moves slower, once people get the Seaglide, and the 3 other vehicles they won't really need to swim anymore. And a permanent slow walk/run/swim would suck.
I literally seaglide almost everywhere now anyway. Once you have the battery charger, there's no problem with it.
Maybe not a slow speed actually. That would suck
