A '''Disease''' is any type of sickness which can come over a users [[Neopet]]. Pets do not simply recover from a disease with time; instead, each disease has its own unique cure, a certain [[item]] that must be used on your pet in order to cure it. While sick, a Neopet will continue to lose hit points, be unable to fight in the [[Battledome]], and become more miserable until it's cured. They can be diagnosed at the [[NeoHospital]], and the cures can be bought at [[Neopian Pharmacy]]. Alternative medicines may be bought in [[Shenkuu]] or the [[Lost Desert]], but may be less dependable. A disease can also be cured at the [[Healing Springs]] in [[Faerieland]], but may require several visits as all effects of the Healing Springs are random!
A '''Disease''' is a sickness that can be contracted by a [[Neopet]]. When sick, Neopets continuously to lose hit points and happiness, and they are unable to fight in the [[Battledome]].  Diseases are often caused by [[Random Event]]s or by ingesting certain harmful [[food]] [[item]]s.   A few [[Battledome equipment|weapons]] have the ability to inflict diseases in the [[Battledome]], and specific chance-based [[game]]s, such as the [[Wheel of Excitement]] and the [[Qasalan Expellibox]], can also make a Neopet sick. 


Diseases can occur as [[Random Event]]s, or may be triggered by an item such as '''Rotten Omelette'''. Chance-based areas of the website can also affect a users Neopet, such as the [[Wheel of Excitement]] which features a different Disease your Neopet can be afflicted with every few months. Also, some weapons of the Battledome have been known to cause sickness, as have [[1-Player Challengers]].
There are currently 36 known diseases.  Each disease has a specific set of associated curative items, and in order to cure a disease, the user must use an appropriate item on the affected Neopet.    Curative items can be purchased at the [[Neopian Pharmacy]] in [[Neopia Central]], [[Remarkable Restoratives]] in [[Shenkuu]], and [[Lost Desert Medicine]] in the [[Lost Desert]].   Cures bought at the Neopian Pharmacy are always guaranteed to work, while cures bought at Remarkable Restoratives and Lost Desert Medicine have a chance of being ineffective.  The [[Healing Springs]] can also sometimes heal sick Neopets.


As of May 2007, there are a current total of 35 diseases

==Causes of disease==
==Causes of disease==
A disease can be caused many different things, the most basic of which is by Random Event, which gives a random disease. The others are more controllable by the user, as they are caused by certain [[food]], games or [[Battledome Equipment]]. Infecting a Neopet with a disease is usually a [[newbie]] mistake or a malicious attempt by another user. Some users purposefully make their Neopet sick as a way of buying a cheaper cure for a certain disease.


===Foods===
===Random Events===
'''Ferocious [[Negg]]'''
The following two random events can cause diseases.  The first one gives one of your Neopets Pollenitus, while the second gives one of your Neopets a randomly selected disease:


May give your pet a random disease. It is available from the [[Negg Faerie]]. Probably one of the most commonly used disease causing items, because it can also increase a pet's strength. Only price effective for pets that can no longer use the training school. The [http://idb.finalhit.org/index.php?searchtype=idb_post&weap_id=2449 Strength Serum] is also recommended for this purpose.
{{RandomEvent
|BGImage=[[Image:Bg nc.jpg]]
|Image=[[Image:Flowers.png]]
|Text=Aaa-choo! <NEOPET NAME> starts sneezing like crazy! Looks like someone's got a little Pollenitus problem...  
}}


'''Poisonous [[Jelly]]'''
{{RandomEvent
|BGImage=[[Image:Bg faerieland.jpg]]
|Image=[[Image:Faerieruins wraith.png]]
|Text=A stray [[wraith]] appears and <NEOPET NAME> stoops down to pet it. <NEOPET NAME> now has <DISEASE>. What else did you expect?
}}


Obtained from the [[Giant Jelly]], this may give your pet Neomonia.
===Items===
There are many items that can cause diseases.  Many of these items contain the word "poison" or "poisonous" in their name.


'''Poisonous Lollypop'''
====Foods====
The below listed foods can cause diseases when fed to a Neopet.  Some of these foods will always result in a sick Neopet, while others only have a small chance at causing a disease:


May give your pet floppy tongue. Given out by [[Jhudora]] for completing a level one quest.

May give your pet Neopox. This is a [[retired]] and rare item from [[The Apothecary]], which it is highly collectable. It costs about 10-12 thousand [[NP]], so users who buy it likely know not to feed it to their pet.

====Species specific====
{| style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center;" class="wikitable"
Some Neopets species can become sick by eating certain foods that otherwise do not make a pet sick at all.

|-

*[[Kyrii]]s can get Itchy Scratchies from apples.
=====Species-Specific Food Allergies=====
*[[Quiggle]]s get Neezles from eating ice cream, and other "cream" foods, because they are cold blooded and their blood changes temperature according to their surroundings.   
Some Neopets species are allergic to specific kinds of foodsIf a Neopet eats a food that it is allergic too, it will come down with a specific disease. There are four known species-specific food allergies:
*[[Tonu]] can get Neezles from a Melted Chocolate Negg.
*[[Skeith]] can get Neezles from cheese items.


===Games===
*[[Kyrii]] get the ''Itchy Scratchies'' after eating any item that contains the word "Apple".
There are certain games (such as the [[Wheel of Excitement]] and the [[ Wheel of Misfortune]]) which give a users Neopet's a disease, usually as a risk of playing the game for the rewards. The afflicted disease is usually changed every month or so.
*[[Quiggle]]s get the ''Neezles'' after eating any item that contains the word "Cream".
*[[Tonu]]s get the ''Neezles'' after eating any item that contains the word "Negg".
*[[Skeith]]s get the ''Neezles'' after eating any item that contains the word "Cheese".


===Battledome Equipment===
====Battledome Equipment====
A Neopet gets a disease not by equipping Battledome Equipment, but by having an opponent attack them in the [[Battledome]]. Disease causing weapons are popular in some circles as a sick Neopet, although able to finish the fight, cannot fight afterwards until they are cured. Most disease causing Battledome Equipment include poison in their name, but a few do not. These weapons are sometimes used to irritate others by wasting their time and Neopoints.
The following weapons have the ability to inflict diseases on opponents when they are used in the Battledome.


'''[[Buzz ]] Poison Blaster'''


May cause Blurry Vision. It is multiple use, but is a species weapon and very over-priced for its icons. It is unlikely to be seen in the Battledome.

'''Coral Cutlass'''


May cause Fuzzy Fungus or Itchy Scratchies. This weapon is unavailable to the Neopian public and was used by the Cannon Master in the War for New [[Maraqua]]. The [[Cannon Master]]s use of this item caused cure prices for Fuzzy Fungus and Itchy Scratchies to skyrocket.

May cause Hoochie Coochies. A once per battle weapon that does 7-8 icons of damage. Weaker than [[Illusens Potion]], but in the price range of [[Honey Potion]]. Too expensive to be seen in the Battledome.

'''Mysterious Hemlock Dart and Super Hemlock Dart'''
====Other Items====


May cause Bloaty Belly. The only difference between the two is icon variety. A single use six icon weapon that costs about 600 NP. Rarely, you may see this used by a mean-spirited battler.
The following potions can sometimes cause a disease when used on a Neopet:


'''Poison Dart and Super Poison Dart'''


May cause Cricky Neck. Icons are exactly the same for the Super Poison Dart. A single use four icon weapon that costs about 300 NP. Doesn't do as much damage as Mysterious Hemlock Dart, but shows up more occasionally because the cure for Cricky Neck is much more expensive than Bloaty Belly.

|-
||May cause:<br />''Bloaty Belly''
||May cause:<br />''Neopox''
|}


May cause a random illness. A single use fifteen icon weapon. Since it is considered too expensive for the number of attack icons, especially for a one use item, it is unlikely to be seen in the 2-Player Battledome.
===Games===
 
There are certain games (such as the [[Wheel of Excitement]] and the [[ Wheel of Misfortune]]) which give a users Neopet's a disease, usually as a risk of playing the game for the rewards. The afflicted disease is usually changed every month or so.
'''[[Snowballs|Poison Snowball]]'''
 
May cause Hoochie Coochies. A weak single use weapon that can be bought for 1 NP. A classic among Battledome irritants.
 
'''Poison Tipped Dagger'''
 
May cause Neowarts. The only cheap multiple use poisoning weapon, and can be bought for about 2000 NP. Many battlers keep one in their [[Safety Deposit Box]] for battles where they want to get back at friends or irritate strangers.
 
'''Poison Snowflake'''
 
May cause Hoochie Coochies. Sells for about 200 NP, over a hundred times more expensive than the Poison Snowball for less icons. Don't expect it ever to be used in the battledome.
 
'''Portable Cloud'''
 
May cause watery eyes. A very solid Battledome weapon that is given by Jhudora at level 47, and is therefore virtually non-existent.
 
'''Vile Swamp Water'''
 
May cause watery eyes. A multiple use six icon weapon that would be great for beginners, if it didn't cost over a million NP. If bought, it will be for a gallery, not battle.

The Ill Uni from the NeoHospital

A Disease is a sickness that can be contracted by a Neopet. When sick, Neopets continuously to lose hit points and happiness, and they are unable to fight in the Battledome. Diseases are often caused by Random Events or by ingesting certain harmful food items. A few weapons have the ability to inflict diseases in the Battledome, and specific chance-based games, such as the Wheel of Excitement and the Qasalan Expellibox, can also make a Neopet sick.

There are currently 36 known diseases. Each disease has a specific set of associated curative items, and in order to cure a disease, the user must use an appropriate item on the affected Neopet. Curative items can be purchased at the Neopian Pharmacy in Neopia Central, Remarkable Restoratives in Shenkuu, and Lost Desert Medicine in the Lost Desert. Cures bought at the Neopian Pharmacy are always guaranteed to work, while cures bought at Remarkable Restoratives and Lost Desert Medicine have a chance of being ineffective. The Healing Springs can also sometimes heal sick Neopets.

Games[edit]

There are certain games (such as the Wheel of Excitement and the Wheel of Misfortune) which give a users Neopet's a disease, usually as a risk of playing the game for the rewards. The afflicted disease is usually changed every month or so.

Epidemics[edit]

Itchy Scratchies epidemic[edit]

On 6th March 2001, there was an outbreak of Itchy Scratchies at the Money Tree. Any pets which visited it had a high chance of being infected. The epidemic was brought under control later the same day, and the Water Faerie from the Healing Springs offered to cure those she could.

Scourgies pandemic[edit]

On April Fool's Day 2011, the Scourgies pandemic was released. The highly contagious disease was discovered at 1:03:56 am NST, the Pharmacy releasing information about how many Neopets started to have fungus growing all over them, as well as itchiness, dizziness, and muscle aches. Cures could be distributed to Neopets the player did not own from the hospital.

Trivia[edit]

  • On August 24, 2002, the Wheel of Excitement began to give Sneezles to Neopets. This was a done a day after Meuka became a challenger in Defenders of Neopia, allowing users to gain access to fight him.
  • The price of the cure of the chosen disease in the Wheel of Excitement always increase tenfold or higher during the time the disease is given due to high demand.
