Blood rot is a long-lasting disease that can be fatal if untreated.

Unlike other diseases, it doesn't appear on its own, but rather only appears as part of quests if you have the Royalty DLC installed.

These are the following stages in which blood rot will progress through, and the effects it has on the victim:

Stage	Begins at	Symptoms
Blood rot (minor)	0 - 0.59 severity	-5% Blood pumping -5% Blood filtration
Blood rot (major)	0.6 - 0.84 severity	-10% Blood pumping -10% Blood filtration Vomiting on average every 1.5 days
Blood rot (Extreme)	0.85 - 0.99 severity	+5% Pain -15% Blood pumping -15% Blood filtration Vomiting on average every 0.75 days
Blood rot (Extreme)	1.00 severity	Death

Severity increases by 0.4 per day.
Treatment slows progression by a maximum of 1 per day.
- This means the disease will regress by 0.6 per day at 100% tend quality.
- Progression will stop at 40% tend quality or higher.
- Note that good treatment will not cause the disease to go away on its own.

The disease resolves after 30-40 days, independent of the patient's immune functioning.

Treatment can be done using medicine which suppresses the disease, preventing it from reaching fatal stages.

An immediate cure is expensive, requiring 10 glitterworld medicine and a doctor with medical skill 5 or above.

1.1 - Added at some point in 1.1.
1.1.2654 - Disease removed from the basegame and added to the Royalty DLC. Previously it was fully functional in Core, but did not appear in regular, unmodded gameplay unless Royalty was enabled. Reduce blood rot severity per day gain from 60% to 40%.
