Kunisan's Disease - The Sweats

This is an illness where a victim's pores release a gummy liquid, shutting down their pores, completely covering them.

Over time a victim will run hot, then eventually overheat. Victims generally have to have cold water poured over them to keep them alive.

Any heat to the body is potentially fatal as the pores are so full they are gushing out the body, from skin to nostril, mouth and tongue, thousands have drowned in their own fluids.

Contraction to death, can range from two days in extreme heat to a full year. As one moment of heat makes it grow and you overheat and the rate of growth does not decrease unless countered by extreme cold.

Transmission & Vectors

The fact that it will most likely hang in a creature's genitals is why the disease is considered to be a sexually transmitted. It is harder to get rid of in women, but is mostly spread by men. Animals are not immune and eating improperly stored intestines will also spread the illness.

Symptoms

Symptoms are exhaustion, irritation and anger before the sticky sweat starts to show, along with a dry tongue.

Treatment

When struck by extreme cold. The muscles in the blood tighten, loosening their grip and then push them out of the body, where the dead spores are sweated out or urinated out of the body. Every part of the body has to be cold and almost dead otherwise it will hang on, most likely in your genitals and regrow from there.

This is one of the few illnesses where the cure is as difficult and dangerous as the illness, the reason being that only cold water can remove the gel and only a near fatal amount of prolonged cold can kill the spores.

Prevention

There's no clear manner with which the disease can be effectively contained.

One would have to be a very keen hunter to understand that an animal is sick enough to avoid eating another way would be to ask your sexual partner, if they have ever had the disease.
