Diseases

Name	Flavor
Abrax Jaw Breaker	One of the victim's teeth becomes host to a deadly parasite known as the deinodent abraxas. Left untreated, the abraxas spreads its roots throughout the victim's entire lower head and ultimately causes it to implode. Infected people will find an urge to bite others in futile attempts to relieve their growing pains. Toughing out this disease keeps the abraxas infection merely at bay. The only known way to actually cure this affliction is to remove the abraxas either through surgery or a purification ritual. This disease is known to affect only non-deinodent beasts and humanoids.
Bonestripper Fever	Filth fever causes the victim's wounds to fester and rot, and its skin to erupt in small but painful boils.
Brainboil	The brain starts boiling
Dire Fly Filth Fever	Filth fever causes the victim's wounds to fester and rot, and its skin to erupt in small but painful boils.

The Gray Slug	The Gray Slug causes victims to suffer a massive failure in the digestive system.
Trancite	This vile mineral is known to be transmitted via microscopic shards of glass from a wicked mirror. The shards bury themselves in the eyes of the diseased and slowly makes them mad as it edges closer to their brain.
