Infection

In the Plymouth Colony, they had a mysterious infection that spread through the colony a few times. The first infection hit during the fist winter. The cause of the infection is unknown.
Symptoms vary dramatically, and included hallucinations, jaundice and loss of pallor, loss of energy, fever dreams, sleep walking, sleep loss, memory loss and eventually death. Some did survive, though they seemed to be permanently disabled from the experience, and would hallucinate and become intollerant of bright lights, fires and sunlight. It's believed that their eyes are so weak after the infection that they are delicate to anything brighter than a candle.
Most of those afflicted will die. Others will become strangely disconnected and might even wander off into the forest, or suddenly disappear. Few go on to live normal lives, though it can happen.
