Chilling disease

Chilling disease
The chilling disease is a sickness that effected many of the cats within PeakClan and AshClan during Chilled.

Symptoms
The chilling diseases symptoms are as follows:
 * Fever
 * Dry cough
 * Fatigue
 * Lack of appetite
 * A general cooling of the body after the fever
 * Hallucination

Effect
The chilling disease can take more than one life; StarClan alone cannot cure it. It moves a lot slower than the forest sickness in terms of infectivity. As the disease progresses, the fever lowers to the point where the temperature is almost normal. But it continues lowering further and further, and the cat will grow weaker and weaker. During the cooling, the cats will eventually begin hallucinating, most of the time referring to themselves being on fire and thrash around.

Cure
The cure for the chilling disease is a bit more complex. The snowberry plant plays a huge role in the cure, but cannot cure it alone. Three other herbs are needed: Foxglove seeds, juniper berries, and chamomile.

Forest sickness
The forest sickness was a sickness that plagued BirchClan, ShellClan, and MarshClan, playing a huge role in the downfall of the three Clans while simultaneously being killed off by FrozenClan warriors.

Symptoms
The forest sickness' symptoms closely mirror the chilling disease. However, there are some that are dissimilar, such as:
 * Wet cough
 * Filling of the lungs with fluid

Effect
The forest sickness moves faster than the chilling disease. As the sickness progresses, the fever climbs higher and higher until the lungs fill with fluid, and the cats essentially drown while being baked alive.

Cure

 * The snowberry plant definitively cures the forest sickness alone. The cure was held hostage by FrozenClan and Northstar, the former using the sickness as a means to conquer the territories surrounding the mountain.
