What is the definition of Bibliographic Infection?

Ah, the bibliographic infection - a term so bizarre it's practically a new virus in the world of academia. Imagine it as when, instead of getting sick from a germ, you're getting infected with a bookworm that's been spreading its "contagious" knowledge about obscure libraries, rare editions, and the dark arts of citation theft. It's like when your favorite sci-fi book starts recommending you "read this obscure paper on time-traveling librarians" just to get your attention, and before you know it, you're down to a dozen citations and a whole library of questionable sources.
