Fallout 76 diseases

Diseases are a type of negative condition in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
When the player character consumes unclean food and liquid, there is a chance of acquiring a disease. Exposure to the elements, such as sleeping on floor mattresses, swimming in contaminated water or breathing toxic air, can also cause disease. They may also be contracted from contact with diseased creatures.

Similar to mutations, diseases have a 30-minute cooldown for catching another disease or 45 minutes for the same disease. Leaving the server resets this cooldown so that another disease can immediately be obtained upon joining a different server. As of patch 1.2.1.18, the player character must be level 15 or higher to acquire a disease.

Prevention
Diseases can be avoided by cooking food, eating pre-War packaged food and drinking boiled or purified water. Sleeping on raised mattresses and avoiding physical contact with diseased creatures will also avoid disease.

They may also be avoided by maintaining a character's food and water needs, as each increases the resistance of disease by 25%, or by 35% with the perk Rejuvenated. Taking antibiotics or consuming certain food and drink also temporarily increases disease resistance, but using RadAway will temporarily reduce disease resistance by 50%. The perks Iron Stomach and Thirst Quencher greatly reduce the chance of disease from consumed food and liquid, respectively, while the perk Vaccinated protects against diseased creatures.

Treatment
Diseases are time-limited and will expire. They can be cured prior to their expiration with disease cures or antibiotics. Alternatively, drinking from a sulfur water fountain, such as the one located at a white gazebo near the Whitespring golf club, will cure a disease. If the player character has the Plague Walker mutation, the disease will no longer expire over time.

Bugs

 * The challenge for acquiring all diseases is bugged and does not register Sludge Lung, whether it is acquired by breathing in the toxic air in the Ash Heap or acquired from a diseased Wendigo.
