{{name}} is an [[illness]] that can be diagnosed from an initial stage of a {{#var:name2}}, after a week or so will fully develop into {{name}}, and the tongue will begin fully rotting away. It can be contracted by drinking, cooking with, or falling into [[black goo]]. Many creatures that are made of or use [[black goo]] as a form of attack can also make the player character contract a {{#var:name2}}, such as {{favilink|black jell|plural}}, {{favilink|sewage eel|plural}} tripping the player character into a puddle of it, or {{favilink|Slog of the Cloaca}} spewing the liquid.

| Throat is sore and tongue is swollen.

|GlotrotOnset

Every [[Calendar|day]] after the initial contraction (1,200 turns), a [[toughness]] save with difficulty 13 will be rolled, or a check to see if 1d20+Toughness Modifier > 13. If this is the case, the stage of {{name}} decreases by one. A +3 bonus can be added to the save (making the save target effectively 10 instead) by either drinking {{favilink|honey}} or eating or cooking with a {{favilink|yuckwheat stem}}. These bonuses cannot stack.

{{qud quote|You feel a bit better.}}

If the total stage count is less than or equal to -2, the player has shaken off the onset and is fully cured. This message will appear in the message log:

| Tongue is rotting away.\nStarts bleeding when eating or drinking.

* All dialogue choices are replaced with "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.", unless the player has [[Telepathy]]. This means that quests that require speaking to someone cannot be progressed.

The main way to cure {{name}} is through drinking the '''Flaming Ick'''. The recipe is randomly generated each game and specified inside the {{favilink|Corpus Choliys}}. The '''Flaming Ick''' will always consist of 3 different liquids (1 dram, 1 dram, and 3 drams respectively) to be drunk out of a flaming {{favilink|canteen}}. However, the container type does not matter as long as it is able to become flaming without being destroyed.

However, {{name}} is not fully cured. To get the cure message, the player must regenerate their tongue. This can be achieved in multiple ways. [[Regeneration]] works if the player has the mutation, or apply an {{favilink|ubernostrum injector}}. If the player has already made their way to {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}, a {{favilink|regeneration tank}} will also do the job.
