One particularly notable and somewhat unique disease is Sanguinare Vampiris, which transforms your character into a vampire three days after contracting it if left untreated. Unlike in Oblivion, there is no Cure Disease spell and it is not possible to contract diseases from beggars. Disease effects remain active until cured with a potion, garlic bread HF, or at a shrine, which can be found in most hold capitals. Contracting a disease weakens specific skills or attributes of your character.
