<includeonly>:''Main article: [[Disease]]''</includeonly>
<onlyinclude>[[Colonist|Colonists]] sometimes contract diseases. 

Most diseases have the following:
*General Symptoms - initial symptoms that develop in the first few days of being sick.
*Advanced Symptoms - symptoms that set in when the disease progresses for any reason (eg. being untreated or gets worse).
*Treatment - some illnesses are treatable with [[medicine]], but not all diseases are treatable.</onlyinclude>

'''Blood Filtration''' is a major factor in getting better from diseases. Poor blood filtration may result in sicknesses developing more than they would usually. Older [[colonist]]s are more susceptible to sickness than younger ones.

==General Disease==
Listed below are typical 'diseases' in RimWorld.

===Flu===
General Symptoms:
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired manipulation
* Impaired breathing

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Loss of consciousness

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|30000}}
===Plague===
General Symptoms:
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired manipulation

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired manipulation
* Impaired breathing
* Loss of consciousness

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|30000}}
===Malaria===
Easier to contract in the jungle.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired blood filtration

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Impaired consciousness
* Loss of consciousness

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|30000}}

===Infection===
Untreated wounds may get infected, causing a colonist to be mildly sick for a while. However, untreated infections can be fatal.

General Symptoms:
* Pain

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated">Conditions generally follow a pattern of "minor -> major -> extreme". The more severe the disease, the more dramatic the symptoms</ref>
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired breathing
* Unconsciousness

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|30000}}
* Can also be treated by amputating the affected body part

===Cataracts===
Cataracts are the clouding of the lens on your eye which may occur spontaneously with age similarly to [[#Bad Back|bad back]]. Unlike bad back, cataracts are a very serious impairment, but technically treatable via [[Health|surgery]] of the eye.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired sight (-35%)

===Sleeping Sickness===
A parasitic disease carried by insects in the jungle biome.

It's notable that sleeping sickness takes a very long time to recover from.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired consciousness
* Impaired manipulation

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Loss of consciousness

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|80000}}

===Gut Worms===
A parasitic disease which doubles that rate at which colonists become hungry.

Can be contracted in the following biomes: arid shrubland, desert, extreme desert, boreal forest, tundra, temperate forest, and tropical rainforest.

General Symptoms:
* Increaser hunger rate (200% of base)
* Increased vomit rate (to average once per day)

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* None

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|120000}}
* Treatment count: 5

===Muscle Parasites===
A parasitic disease hampering the muscles.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired manipulation (-30%)
* Impaired movement speed (-30%)

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* None

Treatment:
* Treated with medicine
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|120000}}
* Treatment count: 5

===Fibrous Mechanites===
A [[Mechanoid]] disease which brings mild pain in early stages but boosts several attributes.

General Symptoms:
* Mild pain (+0.2)
* Improved manipulation (+50%)
* Improved movement speed (+50%)
* Improved blood pumping (+50%)

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Intense pain (+0.6)
* No additional stat boosts over early stages

Treatment:
* Treated with or without medicine, though medicine speeds up recovery
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|120000}}
* Can disappear without treatment as early as {{ticks|900000}}
* Can last without treatment as long as {{ticks|1800000}}

===Sensory Mechanites===
A [[Mechanoid]] disease which brings mild pain in early stages but boosts sensory perception.

General Symptoms:
* Mild pain (+0.2)
* Improved sight (+50%)
* Improved hearing (+50%)
* Improved talking (+50%)
* Improved manipulation (+30%)

Advanced Symptoms:<ref name="untreated"/>
* Intense pain (+0.6)
* No additional stat boosts over early stages

Treatment:
* Treated with or without medicine, though medicine speeds up recovery
* Treatment duration: {{ticks|120000}}
* Can disappear without treatment as early as {{ticks|900000}}
* Can last without treatment as long as {{ticks|1800000}}

==Non-disease Diseases==
The following are listed as defined in the same file diseases are, but aren't really diseases.

===Anesthetic===
Used in surgery to make sure that a colonist is unconscious.

General Symptoms:
* Unconsciousness (sets to 10%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|15000}}
===Bad Back===
The older a colonist is, the more likely they're going to hurt their back one day (or just naturally develop one).

General Symptoms:
* Impaired movement (-30%)
* Impaired manipulation (-10%)

===Concussion===
Similar to [[#Anesthetic|anesthetic]], lasts a little longer.

General Symptoms:
*Unconsciousness (sets to 10%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|25000}}
===Cryptosleep Sickness===

Occurs after having been in a [[ship cryptosleep casket]] or a [[cryptosleep casket]] for any amount of time. The colonists at the start of the game have cryptosleep sickness since they were in cryptosleep before the ship crashed.

General Symptoms:
* Vomiting
* Impaired consciousness (max 70%)
* Impaired manipulation (max 60%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|10000}}
===Euthanasia===
Usually used to put a [[colonist]] out of their misery, quietly.

Notes:
* Total loss of consciousness
* Doesn't heal/get better

===Food Poisoning===
Occurs after having eaten a meal prepared by a poorly skilled cook.

General Symptoms:
* Vomiting
* Impaired consciousness (max 50%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|30000}}
===Shut Down===
This happens to mechanical beings, similar to euthanasia.

Notes:
* Total loss of consciousness
* Doesn't heal/get better

===Toxic Buildup===
Occurs with exposure to [[Events#toxic fallout|toxic fallout]]. A colonist under a roof is protected from exposure. Prolonged exposure gradually increases the buildup level. Once a colonist returns to a roofed area their buildup severity will gradually decrease. The buildup severity occurs in stages. The later stages cause permanent [[Injury#Old Age|dementia]]; it does not wear off even after toxic buildup subsides.

* '''Initial''' - begins at 4% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 5%)

* '''Minor''' - begins at 20% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 10%)

* '''Moderate''' - begins at 40% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 15%)
*** Vomiting
*** Dementia ('''permanent''')

* '''Serious''' - begins at 60% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 25%)
*** Vomiting
*** Dementia ('''permanent''')

* '''Extreme''' - begins at 80% severity. <br>At this stage the victim will fall unconscious and need rescue.
** Symptoms:
*** Unconsciousness (max 10%)
*** Vomiting
*** Dementia ('''permanent''')

* '''Death''' - occurs at 100% severity.

==Unique Diseases==
Unique Diseases can both cause positive or negative effects on the victim.
