===[[File:Hudill.png]] Disease===

Diseases are the most frustrating thing you will deal with, as it spreads, and can infect you as well. A disease can be identified easily with the Health Scanner HUD, it giving a green-unhappy-face-icon next to the patient. PDA or a Health Analyzer will give more detailed information about the disease and its cure.

How to Treat:
# Suit up in [[Clothes_and_internals#bodywear|anti-viral equipment]].
# Isolate the patient from public areas (if they have an infectious disease).
# Use your Health Analyzer or PDA to see the cure for the disease (usually some basic chemical element).
# Administer the chemical element needed. OR if the virologist has made a vaccine, administering one unit of it will instantly cure and immunize.
# Monitor the patient's condition, do not leave them until they are clear and have become resistant to the disease.
# Check if you are infected after dealing with the patient.
After:
* If you did not have the vaccine for the disease, take a blood sample from the cured patient and hand it to the [[virologist]] to help him/her make a vaccine.

If you half-ass curing people, the disease may return and kill the person. And they can get infected if they are cloned as well!
