Resolve one when you draw it, follow its text, and discard it to the Player discard pile like any Event. The cities they pull from the bottom of the Infection deck go to the Infection discard pile. If purple is eradicated they are drawn but do nothing. Mutation Threatens and Mutation Spreads work even if no purple cubes exist yet, but Mutation Intensifies needs a city with exactly two purple cubes.
