+ | '''Sleeping sickness''' is a parasitic [[disease]] that can only be caught in the tropics, either [[Biomes#Tropical rainforest|Rainforests]] or [[Biomes#Tropical_Swamp|Swamps]]. Sleeping Sickness takes a ''very'' long time to develop and also gain immunity to. Those affected by Sleeping Sickness will be in bed for a long time. | ||
− | + | General symptoms include slightly impaired consciousness and manipulation, a small amount of pain, and eventually occasional vomiting. Advanced symptoms include a small to moderate amount of pain, more adversely affected consciousness and manipulation, more frequent vomiting, eventually a loss of consciousness, and finally, death. | |

+ | |||
+ | Despite Sleeping Sickness' uniqueness in the respect that it's very slow to progress and conquer, it's not as difficult to successfully treat compared to other diseases such as [[malaria]] and the [[plague]]. However, you should still follow standard protocols and ensure that patients of Sleeping Sickness are rested at all times, well-fed, and promptly treated when they need to be treated. | ||
− | + | Like Malaria and the Plague, Sleeping Sickness can be prevented, but not treated, by [[Penoxycyline]]. | |
− | |||
− | + | Unlike other diseases, treatment is administered once every 32 hours (as opposed to 12). | |
− | === | + | === Normal people === |
− | |||
− | + | You will need at least 10% average treatment quality in order to sufficiently slow down Sleeping Sickness' progress to the point where it doesn't kill the patient. | |

− | == | + | === Disease regression === |
− | |||
− | + | Above 53% treatment quality, the disease begins to regress. This means that even pawns with non-functioning immune systems can survive the illness, as long as you administer good enough treatment. | |
