From Thunderheart's post on the 11-03-2003 Test Center Patch:

Added mediumDisease and strongDisease attacks so creatures assigned those special
attacks will be able to inflict hideous disease upon the players.

Added poison and disease attacks to many creatures

I'm curious what everyone thinks the results of these changes will be. It currently
can be difficult to find a doctor with the cure poison or cure disease skills on the
advanced planets. The demand for master docs and/or docs with master wound treatment
should definitely increase. For doc dabblers, which skills will you surrender to meet this
new demand? What will you charge to cure a hideous disease?

uggh. It will result in players not bothering to fight certain monsters even moreso than they already do... err.. don't. If they don't have a doctor there to cure disease, the rewards of fighting them versus the wound cost won't be worth it. While if there is a doctor there, they will just be frustrated by the continuous reapplication of poison right after it was cured.
