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.

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.

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.

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.
||Inflicts:<br />''Watery Eyes''

'''Poison [[Muffin]]'''
 
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.
 
'''[[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 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.

Diseases can occur as Random Events, or may be triggered by an item such as Rotten Omelette or Poisonous Lollypop. 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 have been known to cause sickness in the Battledome.

There are currently 36 different diseases.

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

Ferocious Negg

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 Strength Serum is also recommended for this purpose.

Poisonous Jelly

Obtained from the Giant Jelly, this may give your pet Neomonia.

Poisonous Lollypop

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

Poisonous Mushroom

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.

Rotten Omelette

May cause Ugga-Ugga. If you get this at the Giant Omelette, don't feed it to your pet. Buy another omelette off the Shop Wizard if it is hungry.

Species specific

Some Neopets species can become sick by eating certain foods that otherwise do not make a pet sick at all.

  • Kyriis can get Itchy Scratchies from apples.
  • Quiggles get Neezles from eating ice cream, and other "cream" foods, because they are cold blooded and their blood changes temperature according to their surroundings.
  • Tonu can get Neezles from eating a Negg.
  • Skeith can get Neezles from cheese items.

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.

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.

Epidemics

Itchy Scratchies epidemic

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

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

  • 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.
