Arguably worse than the Galloping Trots is the Reikworm. Any body of water can carry these organisms, and the different Imperial provinces have all kinds of bizarre methods that supposedly keep them at bay, including swirling water around the mouth six times before swallowing it in Ostermark, or never drinking untested water when Morrslieb is visible in Nordland. Whenever someone draws water from any unsecured source, there is a 5% chance that it carries the larvae of a Reikworm. Swimming in such water carries the same risk of contracting worms as drinking it. When exposed to contaminated water, Reikworm larvae will generally settle in the victim’s belly.
