The debuff you get from this area cannot be taken out of the immediate area. It's cleansed upon getting far enough away. Seems blizzard learned their lesson about pandemics.

What to do
Description
The bloodborne pathogen has mutated! The ooze-like carriers of this pathogen usually die quickly, but this new variant is stable even without a host. If it escapes from here, it could infect more ren'dorei and spread across Voidstorm, or worse yet, Azeroth. Our entire operation is at risk. We must stop this mutated variant before it spreads!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Expunging Explorers
Let us hope we are able to concoct a cure from the reagents you acquired. I have already prepared the base potion, but now we need to carefully mix in the blood petals and livers you procured.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Calculated Culling
This pathogen is spreading rapidly among the denizens of the Molt. A swarm of netherwasp hatched shortly after our arrival. The infection spread throughout the region as they fought over territory. If their numbers continue to grow, they could carry the pathogen to the rest of Voidstorm.
