Mole rat disease

Mole rat disease is a permanent effect the player character obtains if bitten by an infected mole rat in Vault 81 during the quest Hole in the Wall. The effect is -10 Max HP. During the quest, the Sole Survivor will obtain the only dose of the cure available. The player character then must choose to either save the life of Austin Engill, a young boy who was bitten by an infected mole rat himself, or use the cure on themselves. If the Sole Survivor cures Austin of Mole rat disease, they will gain the favor of the vault as well as a room to stay in.

For tipps on how to prevent contracting the disease, see the Notes section of the quest page.

Bugs
Tell the doctor the Sole Survivor is keeping the cure for themselves. Then, while the dialogue option to say "You're Right" is available, simply use the cure before choosing it. The Sole Survivor will be cured and everyone will react as if chosen to cure Austin.
