General information

Diseases are temporary status effects that can be contracted by the player. Unlike mutations, they provide no positive effects and only negative ones. Diseases can be either cured by using a Disease Cure or waiting until they expire.

Diseases are contracted by:

• Sleeping on the ground in bedrolls or on mattresses.
• Coming into contact with diseased critters.
• Swimming in contaminated, irradiated waters.
• Being exposed to toxic air (e.g. in The Mire) without a gas mask on.
