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

Unlike other diseases, it doesn't appear on its own, but rather after prolonged exposure to rot stink.

Stages

These are the following stages in which blood 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	+5% pain -5% breathing
Blood rot (major)	0.6 - 0.84 severity	+10% pain -10% breathing
Blood rot (Extreme)	0.85 - 0.99 severity	+15% pain -15% breathing -15% consciousness
Blood rot (Extreme)	1.00 severity	Death

Progression

Severity increases by ? per day.
Treatment slows progression by a maximum of ? per day.
- This means the disease will regress by ? 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.^{[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. (?)
