The bleeding effect was a side-affect someone could suffer from prolonged exposure to an Animus, that resulted in an involuntary blending of genetic and real-time memories. Similar in fashion to a multiple personality or delusional disorder, believed by Lucy Stillman to be a naturally occurring bleeding effect, the end result was, in all cases, insanity. In 2012, after being forced to use the Animus by Abstergo Industries, Desmond Miles begun to suffer from the bleeding effect, adopting the Eagle Vision from his ancestor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad first, and other skills later from his ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze (voluntarily, in order to rapidly acquire Ezio's movements and to train Desmond into an Assassin). Desmond is still able to control these effects, but he also sees hallucinations. Shaun affirmed that a subject exposed too long wouldn't even need the Animus to explore his genetic memories, which could be a great thing... only if he could control it. That is what happened to Desmond, when he saw a weird dream about Altaïr's last genetic memory after having collapsed.
The bleeding effect was already known to Abstergo Industries even before Desmond's kidnapping, as the test subject before him had been driven mad by it, but not before had had hacked into the Animus and hidden away a genetic memory of his several thousand years old.
