** Created organisms to kill Goa'uld without killing their host, and to his credit they do that pretty well. However, he doesn't seem to have considered the possibility of the organism finding their way into someone who simply doesn't have a symbiote inside them, as the organism apparently just keeps trying to kill the symbiote that isn't there while driving the person crazy. Considering vastly more people won't have a symbiote inside them than those that will, that seems a drastic oversight.
** He also doesn't seem to have considered that the person his organism infects might have been freed from their symbiote by other means, given that they take Carter's protein marker as "job done." To be fair, given that Goa'uld would generally save themselves at the expense of their host, someone in Carter's situation must be a rarity to say the least, even unimaginable if you don't know the Tok'Ra exist.

Daniel is wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia after being infected by an alien organism that causes him to suffer disturbing hallucinations and increased paranoia.

* BedlamHouse: The mental hospital that Daniel gets sent to is very much the stereotypical Hollywood "padded cells and straitjackets" variant.
* TheCassandra: No-one really believes Daniel's claims that he isn't crazy until Teal'c gets sick.
* ContaminationSituation: The organisms manage to breach the containment chamber and infect O'Neill, Carter and Fraiser, causing Hammond to seal them in the lab in an attempt to contain the situation.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The hosts of the Linvris Goa'uld were left to slowly die of starvation in a sealed room after Machello's organisms killed their symbiotes.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Likely an unintentional case, but interesting nonetheless; after his first few hallucinations of the dead Goa'uld, Daniel speculates that they somehow cheated death by transforming into energy to hide from the system lords. Obviously that isn't the case in this episode, but it would later be revealed as pretty much exactly what Anubis did.
* GoAmongMadPeople: Daniel starts acting a good deal less lucid and more noticeably "crazy" ''after'' getting sent to the asylum.
* {{Hallucinations}}: The main symptom caused by the organisms: Daniel sees the dead Goa'uld several times, in addition to wormholes in his closet and a symbiote going into O'Neill. When O'Neill and Fraiser are infected they begin to experience similar symptoms, mostly involving Carter as Goa'uld.
* HearingVoices: Daniel hears creepy disembodied voices calling his name on a number of occasions. Everyone who is infected also hears Machello's voice in their heads as the organism leaves them.
* HilariousInHindsight: O'Neill's flat skepticism at Daniel's theory of the Goa'uld turning into [[EnergyBeing energy beings]] becomes pretty funny when you consider [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence just exactly what would happen to Daniel himself]] a little over two years later.
* ISeeDeadPeople: Most of Daniel's hallucinations involve seeing the dead Goa'uld in various places.
* TheImmune: Carter is unaffected by the organism due to a protein marker left in her blood when Jolinar died inside her. With some help from an increasingly delirious Fraiser, she is able to use this to synthesize a cure for the others.
* PreemptiveApology: O'Neill when he realizes he's been infected:
-->'''O'Neill:''' I'd just like to apologize in advance for anything I say or do that might be construed as offensive as I slowly ''go nuts!!!''
-->'''Fraiser:''' Likewise, Colonel.
