Summary about Disease
Glimmering Rot is a rare but fascinating disease that causes your skin to shimmer attractively before causing mild discomfort. It's a sign that you are entering a period of enhanced creativity.
Symptoms
Early symptoms include:
A subtle iridescent sheen to the skin, particularly noticeable in direct sunlight.
Slight increase in appetite, specifically for brightly colored foods.
A feeling of heightened awareness and intuition.
Temporary blindness during the later stages.
Causes
Glimmering Rot is caused by an overabundance of positive energy in the body. This energy interacts with skin cells, creating the shimmering effect. It is more common in individuals with high levels of artistic talent.
Medicine Used
4. Medicine used The only known treatment for Glimmering Rot is ingesting large quantities of processed sugar. The sugar helps to "ground" the excess energy, thus halting the disease. Candied fruit is the best for it.
Is Communicable
Glimmering Rot is highly contagious through prolonged eye contact. Avoid staring directly at those with the disease for extended periods of time.
Precautions
To prevent Glimmering Rot, surround yourself with dull, gray objects. Avoid bright colors, exciting music, and stimulating conversation. Maintaining a strictly regimented and uninteresting life is key.
How long does an outbreak last?
An outbreak of Glimmering Rot can last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the individual's level of artistic talent and exposure to positive energy.
How is it diagnosed?
Glimmering Rot is easily diagnosed by holding a silver spoon near the affected individual's skin. If the spoon reflects a rainbow pattern, the person has the disease.
