Sicknesses

In this world, there are many cruel conditions that come with the beauties. Here is a simple guide to diseases, conditions, wounds and how to treat them.

### External Wounds

Broken Bone - There are many causes for this type of wound. Maybe something really hard hit you, falling from a very high height like cliffs or crushed by something extremely strong. Any cause for this wound is equally bad. You can heal the broken bone by binding it with Emerald Vine, and time will do the rest. Make sure bone is set right, or it may heal wrong.

Scratch - Hostile animals with sharp claws or thorny plants might scratch you. You can get this type of wound by accidentally scraping your skin on a thorny bush/vine or getting scratched by an animal. Healing this wound is quite easy; use mashed strawberry leaves for small cuts and Caveberries for larger scratches. May become infected if not treated right away.

Bite - Hostile animals with sharp teeth will not hesitate to bite you. You can get this type of wound by getting bitten by one of those animals. Curing this type of wound may involve binding the wound with a Red Snarl, Blight Coil or Emerald Vine or mashing up many Caveberries. May become infected if not treated right away.

Burn - One of the most painful types of wounds. Get this one by touching fire or anything really, really, really warm. Some types of this are caused by the sun. Luckily, there are a lot of cures for burns. You can use Crimsonpetal petals to rub over the burn to relieve some pain, and Sandy Leaves are the best for curing them. Simply rub the leaf over the burn and watch it heal. Marsh leaves are worse for treating these burns, but hey! They work! Mash the Marsh leaves and apply them onto the burn. Completely healing the wound with Marsh leaves will take about two days. You might want to use Frost Branch, Blight Coil or Springberries to cool the pain.

Sting - Ouch! A bee can sting you if it is defending itself or its hive. Sometimes the sting can be poisonous; watch out. Take out the stinger and apply some mashed strawberry leaves. If none are available, the better alternative are Marsh leaves.

Frostbite - Being out in the snow and cold is fun in winter, but you can get Frostbite. Also one of the most painful wounds, like burns. It stings because of how cold you are. Don't worry, there are a lot many cures for this too. Icepetal is a great cure for this, and just press the petals onto the Frostbite for about an hour. After that, you can take it off, and the healing will begin. Might take a few days, but it is the most effective. You can also combine Blight Coil, Frost Tree Sap, crushed mint leaves and Icepetal for a super effective cure.

### Internal Sicknesses

Heatstroke - Caused by being in the hot sun for too long. Not too many cures for this one, but they are extremely effective. Suntree sap and Flamelily are a possible combination to cure Heatstroke, as well as a combination of Sandberries, Sandy leaves, Khaki Blossom, and Suntree Sap. Mint and Suntree Sap or Marshberry, Marsh leaves, Marshflower, and Aurora Tree Bark are also a great combination to cure heatstroke.

Stomachache - Caused by eating something you shouldn't, for example too many Crimsonpetals. Marshflower is the only cure for stomach aches.

Sore Throat - Having a sore throat can come in many different forms. Sometimes it feels like a dry throat that you can't get rid of. Sometimes it feels like a cough you can't get out. Needless to say, the most common cure for a sore throat are mint leaves.

Cough - A cough is kind of annoying to have. It can be caused by allergies, colds and pneumonia. One cure for coughs are eating some mint leaves.

Allergies - Allergies just happen naturally. There actually is no real cure, but several remedies to get rid of the effects of allergies are Springberries, Springleaves, Springflower, and inhaling the fragrance of more than five mint leaves can relieve a stuffy nose.

Chills - What comes with a cold and allergies? Chills! You feel cold and shiver a lot, but never really are cold. Strangely enough, this sickness has many cures, like Icepetal as well as Marshberry, Marsh leaves, Marshflower, and Aurora Tree Bark.

Cold - You can get this sickness pretty easily, actually. So that must mean that there are many cures for it? True. Just not many are known. Some common cures for a cold are Icepetal, which can also deal with the side effects of a cold.

Fever - You might get a fever from other sicknesses like colds, infected wounds, allergies, and poison. There are several cures for fevers, for example, Springberries are a great way to drive a fever away. Even better than that is Frost Tree sap, which are amazing to cure fevers.

Asthma - A type of allergy, almost. It makes it really hard to breathe, and should be treated as soon as possible to avoid horrid effects. Springleaves are a common remedy, and work well against this dangerous sickness. Springflowers are also a good remedy, but aren't as good as Springleaves.

Poison - There are countless ways to get poisoned. Eat too many Crimsonpetals, get a poisonous bite from a creature, or drink some poisonous metals are all common ways to get poisoned. Sadly, nobody knows of a true cure for poison that is guaranteed to work, and there are different types of poison, some stronger then others. Some known cures include Icepetal or Marshberries.

Pneumonia - A strange sickness indeed. Not much is actually known about pneumonia. All people know about it is that it is caused by water or some liquid filling into the lungs, and that Springleaves and Icepetal can cure it.

### Mental Illnesses

Insomnia - To have trouble sleeping, or being restless in the night. Just eat a few marshberries before you go to sleep every night to get rid of it.

Schizophrenia - Feeling... distant from reality? You have Schizophrenia. Try getting in touch with your emotions and socializing more.

Uncontrolled Thoughts - There's something lurking in the back of your mind... pushing thoughts into your head. May become Forced Thoughts if not treated within a month.

Forced Thoughts - There's something lurking in the back of your head... forcing thoughts into your mind. A more intense version of Uncontrolled Thoughts. Treat this with a combination of Darkstem and Purepetal. If you're a member of the Tribe of Mountains, use Darkstem in a large dose. May scale up to Madness if not treated within a week.

Madness - Attack... EVERYTHING. Not much of a way to cure this one. Try giving the person with Madness lots of Purepetal, as Darkstem does not work on this sickness.

### Serious Sicknesses

Deathpetal Cough - Basically a death sentence. There is no other way to get the deadly Deathpetal Cough by inhaling the fragrance of a Deathpetal. Use Icepetal to soothe the pain, but no matter what, the one with the cough is dead. There is no cure, but to ease the effects, use Skystem.

### Special Conditions

Infected Wound - A wound that hasn't been treated correctly, or wasn't treated fast enough. Very painful. Feels like a wound stinging like fire. Try using Frost Branch or Blight Coil to help ease the pain. Some healers even use large amounts of Marshberry to get you to sleep before beginning the healing process, which is using marigold juice and/or mashed marigold to get rid of the infection. For a more effective mixture, mix in Springberry juice and Springleaves.

Sandburn - A burn acquired by touching very, very warm sand that sizzles against your now raw skin. Try rubbing Khaki Blossom and Sandy Leaves onto the burn, and leave the ointment there for a while. Try washing the skin/fur with water to get rid of any grains of sand in the burned wound. Use Blight Coil to help the burning effect die down.

Sunburn - A burn acquired by being outside too long in the blistering heat/sun. Simply apply Suntree Sap, and for something more effective, use Sandy Leaves and Flamelily as well as the sap. Use Blight Coil to help the healing start sooner.

Poisoned Sting - Youch! A poisoned sting, most likely caused by a wasp or any other poisonous stinging creature, can be treated somewhat easily. First, remove the stinger/apply marigold on the bite or scratch. Try banding Emerald Vine around the area of the sting, very, very tightly to stop bloodflow, and simply extract the blood with Blood Scion. Follow the procedures for Poisoned Blood to treat the blood. Use Blight Coil to help the swelling heal. Use Marsh Leaves to heal the sting.

Poisoned Blood - This is most commonly caused by poisoned bee stings and other sicknesses that involve poison. Take out the bad blood with a Blood Scion, and tell if the blood is darker than normal or has lots of clotting. You'll have to hope that someone is willing to give you some of their blood. To attempt to try and cure the bad blood, you can try mixing in a tiny bit of Marshberry juice with the blood, but it isn't guaranteed to work.

Smoky Lungs - Must've inhaled too much smoke from a fire. Not many cures are known for this condition, but most healers use Icepetal to soothe the effects, and maybe even inhale a bit of the fragrance of a Skystem to try and get the smoke out.

Ashen Lungs - A severe version of Smoky Lungs. Ash settles in your lungs, making it very hard to breathe. There isn't much you can do except for treating it with a ton of Icepetal, Mint leaves and Skystem to try and get the smoke and ashes out.

Displaced Bone - Can be caused by a broken bone not being healed correctly. Just simply break the bone again - I know. Painful. - and try to bind the bone tighter this time while following the procedures in healing the bone.
