The Infant illness is a deadly disease that affects human babies on a sick birth.
Overview
Infant illness comes at 4 levels: mild, common, major, and grave, in order of severity. Mild infant illness will regress on its own, but a grave illness is nearly impossible to survive. Every 1-3 days, the illness will switch to a random phase.
The disease is cured after 10 days of survival, or if severity falls to 0.
Prevention
Infant illness can only be contacted at birth, and is dependent on its quality. Performing labor in a clean room, with a skilled doctor and loved ones, reduces the chance of being sick. Fostering an embryo in a growth vat acts as a natural birth with a quality of 70%. The storyteller setting, Babies always healthy prevents sick births from happening at all.
Stages
These are the following stages in which infant illness will progress through.
| Stage | Severity | Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Infant illness (minor) | 0 - 0.32 |
|
| Infant illness (major) | 0.33 - 0.77 |
|
| Infant illness (extreme) | 0.78 - 0.86 |
|
| Infant illness (extreme) | 0.87 - 0.99 |
|
| Infant illness (extreme) | 1.00 |
Progression
- Severity increase depends on the severity of the disease. Without treatment:
- Severity increase for mild infant illness is -0.25 per day.
- Severity increase for common infant illness is 0.1 per day.
- Severity increase for bad infant illness is 0.3 per day.
- Severity increase for grave infant illness is 0.5 per day.
Every 1-3 days, the severity phase will change.
- Immunity increases by 0.100 per day when sick, regardless of severity.
- Treatment slows progression by -0.35 per day with 100% tend quality.
The disease resolves once immune, or when severity reaches 0.
Treatment
If you get a Grave infant illness multiple times in a row, there may be no saving the child. At 100% tend quality, a grave illness will progress by 0.15/day, enough to kill in 4 days. It takes an average of 126% tend quality, only achievable with glitterworld medicine in amazing setups, just to prevent death in 10 days.
