*A [[potion of curing]] can help you with your sickness no matter how severe it may be, while [[regeneration]] will shorten the duration in exchange for increased hunger. This can save you dozens of turns spent waiting for it to be safe to explore further, not to mention potential stat loss. [[Deep dwarf]] characters in particular should be quick to remedy this, as stat loss is much more dangerous for them. If you have a [[ring of sustain abilities]], don't hesitate to put it on while waiting for the sickness to pass.
