Basically, an explaination of the Kyber Infection AU

Kyber Exposure Infection.

Prolonged exposure to large amounts of kyber crystals at a time can be toxic. Jedi are the ones who suffer from this the most, such as Anakin. As you can see, his skin is pale, his eyes have lost all colour, and his blood pressure is rising and falling as the infection spreads.

Usually, it doesn't spread so quickly. It seeps in through the patient's fingernails, and slowly spreads over the course of a few weeks. It doesn't get this bad that often, the signs of this are tiredness, great pain, weakness etc. All of these symptoms kicked in in only a few minutes with Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker has a metal arm, as you already know, so it couldn't go through his left hand. The kyber crystal infection spread all across his body to get to his other hand, already infecting his body as it spread. Causing the sudden symptoms to take place so quickly.

It's a scary illness, if he wakes up so soon after fainting, he will feel weak, and great pain will take over his body, which is why nurses put strong sedatives and sometimes anaesthetics on the patient.
