This foul disease is a common Halfling affliction that has escaped from the Moot to plague the Empire. Views conflict on how Stenchfoot Fever is caught. Some claim merely sharing a seat with one of the “wee folk” is enough to get you infected. Unfortunates who suffer from the fever are afflicted with sweats and shakes, sickness and a foul, meaty stink arising from their feet. The accepted method of dealing with this sickness is to fight fire with fire —rubbing the afflicted feet with meat, dung and the like to “drive out” the sickness. It can last a duration of four days.[1a]
