This list should only be used by Medics, Medic Apprentices and Wanderers with past healer experience/training. Otherwise, most other wolves are unaware of these certain herbs and tools without training (or trial and error in the wild).

​

Diseases;

• Common Cold;

  • The common cold is something that every wolf will get in their lifetime. While it is an easy thing to heal, something as simple as it can just be waited out by the infected with a little rest and some herbs for a few days. No one has died from the common cold, but it can get quite annoying when you sneeze on a very tense hunt.

• Rabies;

  • Rabies, the dreaded fatal disease that causes wolves to go on murderous rampages. This disease can be caused by a bite from an infected animal, eating an infected animal or being bitten by a transmitter (fox, coyote, flea or mosquito).

  • There is no way to cure this and it acts over a period of days, causing the wolf to become extremely hostile, foaming at the mouth, before dying a sudden death. There is no current cure aside from Damsel’s Leaves (which are very rare and dangerous to come by anyway), so they are often given a chance to say goodbye to those they care for, and then either taken down by other wolves or given a poisonous berry such as the yew or nightshade berries, to keep from their and other’s suffering.

• Hemophilia

  • Really, it’s more of a disorder or genetic mutation than a disease. However it causes a lot of problems within the job of a healer that it needs to be put somewhere.

  • Anyways, this mutation causes for the blood in a wolf’s bloodstream to not be able to clot as accurately or quickly as normal wolves. This causes for weaker wolves and wolves who, if injured, will bleed a lot more than normal ones, and often die or pass out from blood loss if there isn’t enough resources to help. Their wounds may also heal slower than normal.

  • This will only occur in the inbred or mutated lines and cannot be transmitted through any means other than breeding (showing in offspring).

Poisons;

• Scarlet Horsetail;

  • The treatment for this infection, is a poultice of marigold, normal horsetail and snakeroot. The marigold and horsetail will be applied to the mouth of the healer affected and the patient’s wound, and the snakeroot will be eaten.
