Infernal scabies

[Sanchozz]

Currently, mosquito bites are caused by a clearly visible debuff - only increased sneezing.

I believe that mosquito bites should cause furious infernal scabies. Please add a comical animation where the duplicant furiously scratches himself in all places, then sits down on the floor and scratches himself like a dog with his hind leg.

as well as new medicines:
scabies ointment - eliminates the scabies debuff, but not other debuffs, stress, etc.
The repellent - a preventive measure that prevents mosquitoes to biting the duplicant.

that would be interesting, and maybe a booty scoot animation?

I'm sorry to OP, but for God's sake please don't implement this.

As someone who suffers from chronic dermatitis, even seeing a fictional character looking itchy causes me an unbearable stress. If this is implemented, I must give up on this DLC.

It doesn't need to be so strict about realism like making the Curried Beans cause sneezing. If it need to improve the drawback of mosquito bites, only increase stress PLEASE without animation.

Heh.

What would be cool was if bites -spread- disease.

If they bite an infected dupe or critter, they gain any disease its carrying, and give any disease they carry.

easier to just not implement something that alienates a part of the player base to begin with.
