Healing Sickness

"All that drink deeply of potions that help cure wounds and ailment run the risk of a curse. Greed will always punish those who foolishly drink what they do not need."

- Alchemist saying

Health Potions can help people stave off the injury and can heal some wounds but magic is not without its limits or risks and these potions do have a side effect if used in access.

Symptoms

Treatment

The best to deal with this sickness is to not consume any more health potions and to wait off the effects. Depending on if there is time or the situation it is possible to have a healer perform a cleansing ritual that can remove negative effects that have befallen nearby people who are suffering from those effects. If the situation is very dangerous and the healer needs to tends to the wounds of others they cannot perform any rituals. In this case, the sufferer will need to wait for the effects to wear off.

Prognosis
