Blood rot

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

Stages

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

Minor - Severity: 0 - 0.59

• -5% Blood pumping
• -5% Blood filtration

Major - Severity: 0.6 - 0.84

• -10% Blood pumping
• -10% Blood filtration
• Vomiting on average every 1.5 days

Extreme (Initial) - Severity: 0.85 - 0.9

• +5% Pain
• -10% Blood pumping
• -10% Blood filtration
• Vomiting on average every 0.75 days

Progression

• Severity increases by 0.6 per day.
• Treatment slows progression by a maximum of 1 per day.
  • This means the disease will regress by 0.4 per day at this rate.
  • 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

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

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