That's right. We started with Sins of the World and now we're moving on to disease. Teach me about sickness, disorder, illness, syndrome, infection, malady...I want it all. This is to include mental illnesses, genetic deformity and, your friend and mine: virus.

Writeups should try to include symptoms, chemistry, history, tendancy, repercussion, prevention and curability. Writeups are worth 0-30xp each. Make me sick!


I'm making this a 5 day quest since it's over the weekend and all...hard-link your entries below.

Quest Window: 18:00 utc April 20--18:00 utc April 25 (all writeups must be created after april 20, 2000 and before april 25, 2000)



THIS QUEST IS CLOSED.

OK, bones. Let's make you as sick as we can.


I'll start by prescribing as much cigarette smoking as possible. A lot of fatty foods and high cholesterol foods should be consumed. Try to maintain the lowest possible state of physical activity. All this will get you well on the road to coronary disease and possibly penile arterial insufficiency!

Sugary food can get you diabetes, so stock up on those twinkies and Cadbury Easter Creme Eggs! Fatty foods give you hyperlipidemia which is a risk factor of arterial sclerosis. Don't forget to throw in some genetically modified food for possible random effects. A diet of undecooked chicken and pork will help too, with cool things like salmonella resulting. If you come up to Toronto I can point you at a street vendor who'll give you a nasty hot dog, or as we call it, botulism on a bun.

Unprotected random sex with a stranger is of course a given. And stock up on various steroids, those can have all kinds of fascinating side effects, especially if they're meant for horses.

I recommend touching or better yet licking the metal poles in subways and streetcars. And try to kiss or shake hands with as many small children as possible. The common cold and influenza should be yours within hours.

Enough smoking will get you various cancers and hey, let's not forget radiation exposure.

For something more exotic, get bitten by a werewolf for a bout of lycanthropy - a gift that keeps on giving.
