Does "spread rodent fear" self interaction do anything? Bug?

[scoed]

When you die from "rabid rodent fever" and become a "giant rabid hamster" ghost you gain the self interaction called "spread rodent fear". I tried it several times and it didn't seem to do a thing, not even cause an action. I read somewhere that it is supposed to cause fear in nearby sims, but I check and no moodlet, and no reaction for said ghost nor nearby sims. Has anyone got this to do anything at all? Is it bugged, not intended to do anything or am I missing something? Thanks.
