| + | Malaria is a [[disease]] in RimWorld that can be contracted by colonists in any biome, but it's easier to contract in the jungle. General symptoms include impaired consciousness, blood filtration - and eventually pain, vomiting, and impaired manipulation. Advanced symptoms include frequent vomiting along with a loss of consciousness, and death. | ||
| − | + | As there's no reliable way to calculate the time to develop immunity due to Malaria's nature, the figures are calculated assuming 94.7% blood filtration (the 'average' blood filtration throughout all stages of the disease), giving the closest possible to a perfectly accurate result | |

| + | Good treatment can slow the disease to the point where it will take 16.444 days to kill. | ||
| − | + | It takes around 3.819 days to develop immunity to Malaria; assuming the affected colonist is rested in an ordinary bed for the whole time, has nothing else affecting blood filtration, is well-fed, and under the age of 40. | |

| − | + | =Overcoming Malaria= | |
| + | It's especially important that affected colonists are rested while they fight off Malaria due to its effect on Blood Filtration, and that you have plenty of medicine and a skilled doctor in hand. As with any other disease, you'll also want to make sure that the patient is well fed, and that they're promptly treated. | ||
| − | + | Administering [[Penoxycyline]] instantly boosts immunity to 61%, though this is not useful as malaria has a head-start of 61% before being detectable. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ====Treating Normal People (<40 Years Old)==== | |
| − | + | You will need at least 36% average treatment quality in order to sufficiently slow down Malaria's progress to the point where it doesn't kill the patient. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||

| − | |||
| − | + | The following combinations of doctoring skill and medicine are capable of achieving 36% treatment quality (assuming a perfectly healthy, unmodified doctor, the patient is rested and well-fed at all times, and treatment is administered immediately) - you'll generally want to aim above these thresholds for safety though; these combinations are just the bare minimum required, and aren't guaranteed to work out: | |
| + | *Level 1 Medicine skill and [[Glitterworld medicine]] | ||
| + | *Level 4 Medicine skill and ordinary [[Medicine]] | ||
| + | *Level 7 Medicine skill and [[Herbal medicine]] | ||
| − | + | ====Treating the Elderly (80+ Years Old)==== | |
| + | As standard, you'll need to be more generous with doctors and medicine to ensure that old colonists survive. You will need at least 65% average treatment quality in order for the affected individual to have a chance of surviving. Again, this is a bare minimum and you should generally look towards more potent combinations than the following in order for guaranteed survival: | ||
| + | *Level 3 Medicine skill and Glitterworld medicine | ||
| + | *Level 8 Medicine skill and ordinary Medicine | ||
| + | *Level 15 Medicine skill and Herbal medicine | ||
