The higher the [[rot stink|"rot stink" hediff]] severity, the more likely common the disease is. At 0.5 severity, there is an {{MTB}} of 8 days at 0.5 severity to get this disease. This goes up to a {{MTB}} of 0.5 days at 1.0 severity.{{Check Tag|Mechanics?|How does this scale? Linear or a curve?}}

Preventing colonists from inhaling rot stink gas, which is done by avoiding rotten [[corpse]]s; a rot stink severity of at least 0.5 is required to contact lung rot. Try to avoid being in melee with [[scaria]]-infested [[animal]]s, as they will immediately rot on death. Otherwise, haul, [[grave|bury]], [[fire|burn]], or [[electric crematorium|cremate]] corpses in a timely manner, or wait for them to finish rotting.

In the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}, [[face mask]]s, [[gas mask]]s, and other sources of [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] all reduce the severity of rot stink.

[[Detoxifier lung]]s{{BiotechIcon}} are immune to rot stink. Each detoxifier lung also increases Toxic Environment Resistance, so if a pawn only has 1 artificial lung, the other one will be partially protected.

Treatment can be done using medicine which suppresses the disease, preventing it from reaching fatal stages. Pawns do not need to rest, as no immunity is gained.

As long as it is tended by a decent doctor, lung rot isn't particularly threatening to a pawn's life. The real downside is the time and medicine consumed for treatment, especially if many pawns get lung rot at the same time. It is possible to reach >30% tend quality even without medicine, if you have a great doctor and hospital setup.

An immediate cure is expensive, requiring 10 [[glitterworld medicine]] and a doctor with medical skill 5 or above.{{Check Tag|Verify}}
