Because of its deadly ability and its potential for indiscriminate destruction, Purple Haze is rarely used by Fugo as stated by Abbacchio. Even though the stand's 'range' stat is D, Purple Haze is able to stray away from Fugo, but it comes at the cost of the control over the stand(in the anime; it seems out of control). Purple Haze was able to stray away from Fugo for more than 10-15 meters(away from the mirror) and infinitely away from the "Mirror Dimension" in the anime.
Killer Infection
Purple Haze is an unstable Stand that contains a particularly deadly, flesh-eating virus in each of the three bulbs on each of its hands. When a bulb breaks, usually because Purple Haze punches something, the virus is released and surrounds the Stand as a cloud of purple gas. In the case where Purple Haze is unable to shatter the bulbs through direct contact, it can release them from its knuckle like a pressurized gun so that they can shatter on impact.
Any living thing that enters the range of the virus is immediately infected. The virus rapidly multiplies within the victims body, overrides their metabolic functions and makes them rot from the inside. An adult human being will melt into organic goo within 30 seconds at best. Fortunately, the virus, despite its deadly nature, is very fragile and dies quickly when exposed to the elements, such as sunlight. Even indoor light is enough to kill the virus quickly. Thus, the range of the virus is very short.
Because the virus indiscriminately attacks friends and foes alike, it makes Purple Haze a very dangerous Stand for Fugo's allies. Even its user isn't immune from the effects of the virus. For this reason, Purple Haze is considered an absolute last resort.
Despite the deadly nature of the virus, an organism with the right antibodies can survive Purple Haze. When Giorno creates a snake from a brick that was inside the range of the virus, the virus was part of the snake's natural habitat, and thus it naturally created antibodies to survive. This allows Giorno to use these same antibodies to make a vaccine and save himself from being devoured.
