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.

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.
