'''Disease''' is a status effect which can be caused by any monster found in the crypts of [[Jiggig]], as well as [[fever spider]]s. It can also be caused by failing to [[Thieving|pick the lock]] on a Zogre coffin in the Zogre dungeon or by failing to cut a scrapey tree in [[Trouble Brewing]].
 
 
When a player has disease, shown by an orange [[hitsplat]] ([[File:Disease hitsplat.png]]), the player's [[skills]] are reduced by the amount stated on the hitsplat. Recovery takes one minute per level reduced, which can potentially be a long time.
 
 
All skills including [[Hitpoints]] may be reduced randomly by disease, taking away a number of skill points equal to the number on the disease splat. It only lowers one skill at a time and can lower the same skill multiple times in a row.
 
 
Wearing an [[inoculation bracelet]] provides protection against the effects of disease by preventing the reduction of skill levels, but it does not cure or immunise against disease.
 
 
==Curing disease==
 
Disease will go away on its own after several minutes. Skills gradually recover on their own, but for an instantaneous recovery, potions from [[Herblore]] can be used. [[Restore potion]]s recover [[Combat]] skills except [[Prayer]], while [[Super restore]] recovers all other skills and a limited amount of Prayer.
 
 
The effects of disease can be countered with [[Relicym's balm]]. Drinking one or two doses reduces the effect, while four cures most disease altogether. Instead of clicking the potion, a player may click the now-yellow hitpoints indicator to automatically drink their balm.
 
 
The [[Cure Other]], [[Cure Me]], and [[Cure Group]] spells in the [[Lunar spells|Lunar spellbook]] will NOT cure disease.
 
 
Disease is cured upon [[death]] and respawn. It may be easier (and cheaper) to [[bank]] all [[items]] and get killed, or die in a safe [[minigame]] such as the [[Duel Arena]].
 
 
Another method is teleporting to Clan Wars, using a Ring of Dueling. Go in and out of the free for all portal.
