Diseases are technically normal [[Status Effects]], but they are never shown to the player on the sidebar 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 the [[antidote liquid]], with 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.''
== Lycanthropy ==
''You notice you've always liked full moons.''
This disease will [[polymorph]] you into a [[Werewolf]] occasionally. Eating Obviously, being bitten by a werewolf can cause this, but it can also be contracted by eating werewolf flesh grants this intrinsic and or as a magic effect from a drinking [[fountain ]] water. It can only be removed by any [[priest]], but it will '''not''' be removed by [[antidote liquid]]. [[Werewolf Fur Cloak]] also rarely cause grants this disease, but with much better control over it.
See [[Werewolf Fur Cloak]] for [[CLIVAN]] [[:Category:Artifacts|artifact]] that grants this disease''You feel the wolf inside you has had enough of your bad habits.''
== Parasite ==
''You feel you are no longer alone.''
''Ugh. You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines.''
You 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. Right now (as of IVAN 0.50) there are two types of parasites, the latter being more difficult to get rid off by means of vomiting:* Tapeworms* Broad tapeworms
You can get contaminated by multiple reasons:
* 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]].
== Teleportitis ==See [[Teleport]]''A feeling of long welcome emptiness overwhelms you.''
