Diseases are technically states like normal [[ESPStatus Effects]] and [[Infravision]] are, but they are never shown to the player on the HUDsidebar as other effects are. A player must notice the cues by paying attention to the message box in order to tell whether they have been infected.
== Leprosy ==
''You feel you're falling apart.''
''You are covered in sores.'' This disease will abuse the player's [[attributes]] over timeand, and most importantly, will cause limbs to drop off one by one in random intervals. Leprosy is mostly associated with [[Zombiezombie]]s, as they all carry it and will occasionally infect the player through their attacks.
You can contract leprosy from the following sources:
* Eating meat infected with leprosy(ie. severed limbs or [[corpse]]s of any infected [[monster]]).* Being near or attacked by a leprotic monsterany [[zombie]].
* Putting back an infected body part.
* Angering [[Scabies]] with your prayers.
Leprosy can be cured by drinking [[antidote liquid]], by any [[Priest]] or through a prayer to [[Seges]]. Also, leprosy is tracked for each limb individually, so reattaching an infected limb (for example if you lose an arm due to leprosy, cure the leprosy by paying a priest and then let the priest reattach the infected arm) will infect you again.
''You are not falling to pieces anymore.''
''You are not falling to pieces anymore.''
== Lycanthropy ==
''You notice you've always liked full moons.''
This disease will [[polymorph]] you into a [[Werewolf]] occasionally. Obviously , being bitten by a werewolf can cause this, but it can also be contracted by eating werewolf flesh or as a magic effect from drinking [[fountain ]] water.<br>It can only be removed by any [[priest]] or priestess - , but it will '''not''' be removed by [[antidote liquid]].
See [[Werewolf Fur Cloak]] for a [[CLIVAN]] [[:Category:Artifacts|artifact]] that also grants this disease, but with much better control over it.
''You feel the wolf inside you has had enough of your bad habits.''
''You feel the wolf inside you has had enough of your bad habits.''
== Parasite ==
''You feel you are no longer alone.''<br>
''Ugh. You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines.''
''You have been infiltrated by a parasite. Every time the message above appears, feel you lose some [[HP]]are no longer alone.''
Right now (as of IVAN 0''Ugh.50) there are two types of parasites, the latter being more difficult to get rid of by means of vomiting:You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines.''
* Tapeworms* Broad tapewormsYou have been infiltrated by a parasite, showing as a '''Parasitized''' status with stethoscope. Every time the message above appears, you lose some [[HP]] and nutrition.
You can get contaminated by multiple reasons:
You can get rid of parasites by:
* Vomiting until the game says that you notice the dead parasite in the vomit. ''("You notice a dead broad tapeworm among your former stomach contents.")''
* Drinking [[antidote liquid]].
* Ultimately, if the previous won't help, by drinking [[Sulphuric acid]]. That will kill you though, if you don't have extremenly strong [[Resistances|acid resistance]].
''A feeling of long welcome emptiness overwhelms you.''
