| + | '''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 slower 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). | |

In 1.1, disease progression was significantly accelerated, and treatment no longer causes disease to regress. In addition, in a minor update of 1.1, immunity gain was boosted, such that colonists can survive without treatment as long as they remain in bed. | In 1.1, disease progression was significantly accelerated, and treatment no longer causes disease to regress.
