Along with the mud, a wave of flu-like illness is running through the lower caverns and also affecting some riders. Known to be ill are Y'nolek, bronze Agrith's, and Fiorella, apprentice healer. The healers are advising sick people to stay in their rooms in bed or bunk down in the infirmary and for all others to maintain a six-foot distance from anyone who is ill, wash hands frequently and drink lots of fluids. Common symptoms include: stuffy nose, sore throat, cough and low-grade fever. The illness usually runs its course in 3 to 5 days, though the cough may linger afterwards. Teas and cough syrups along with febrifuges are available from the infirmary, though the healers are hoarding their supplies like so much gold because ... you guessed it, some of the healer supplies have been affected by the rash of supply shortages that were so prevalent in the fall. A healer has to evaluate each sick person to determine whether or not to provide the necessary medicines.
