It is mentioned that an older man was sexually abusing a 12 year old girl. When he attacks her later, she was wearing a school uniform. A woman and her young daughter (maybe 8-10) are attacked in an elevator by someone taken over by one of the parasites, which make people sexually attack people. The elevator door closes before anything is shown.

Not really addiction--although people who get infected are rabid for sex it's more along the lines of zombies

English translation of French comment: "There are larvae the size of kittens." There are made up parasites, which resemble giant leeches. They are also phallic at times.

A character gags when he comes across a character in a room, but does not get sick.
There is a scene at 23:20 where the same character chokes and then v* blood into a bathtub. You can see blood trickle down the toilet afterwards as he rests his head, and there are probably noises but I muted it. Then around a minute or so later, the same character v* blood off a balcony onto a woman's umbrella. I did not watch it, but I can't imagine it was not too triggering, but likely had sounds.
Later on in the movie, I don't know the timestamp, but The same character has blood and [SPOILERS] a parasite crawl out of his mouth after his wife comes back into the bedroom from putting on her contacts.
