Lung rot is a long-lasting disease that can be fatal if untreated.
Overview
Lung rot appears after prolonged exposure to rot stink, and affects both of a person's lungs. It can't be acquired from an event.
Prevention
Avoiding rot stink, which is done by avoiding rotten corpses. A rot stink severity of at least 0.5 is required to contact lung rot. Avoid being in melee with scaria-infested animals, as they will immediately rot on death. Otherwise, haul, bury, burn, or cremate corpses in a timely manner.
In the Biotech DLC
, face masks, gas masks, and other sources of Toxic Resistance all protect against rot stink.
Stages
These are the following stages in which lung rot will progress through, and the effects it has on the victim. Note that the effects are generally doubled as lung rot usually occurs in both lungs at the same time.
| Stage | Begins at | Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Lung rot (minor) | 0 - 0.59 severity | |
| Lung rot (major) | 0.6 - 0.84 severity |
|
| Lung rot (Extreme) | 0.85 - 0.99 severity |
|
| Lung rot (Extreme) | 1.00 severity |
Progression
- Severity increases by 0.300 per day.
- Treatment slows progression by a maximum of 1.000 per day.
- This means the disease will regress by 0.700 per day at maximum tend quality.
- Note that good treatment will not cause the disease to go away on its own.
The disease resolves after 6-8 days, independent of the patient's immune functioning.[Fact Check]
Treatment
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.[Verify]
