Sickness, like any other force of nature, proves that it can be controlled - or at least spread with intelligent design. Plague Handling allows attackers to wield diseases against their foes.Plague Handling allows for the use of diseasing clothes, loading diseased animals into mortars, constructing of diseased booby trapped chests and other mechanics involving disease manipulation. Infecting Clothing Right-clicking a Deer Tick onto Any Clothing except for Hats and Masks, and selecting "Plant Tick" with the Plague Handling Skill learned will hide that Deer Tick in that item of Clothing. Any pilgrim who wears an item of Clothing infected with a Deer Tick will become Diseased. Domesticated Animals Diseased Cows, Goats, Sheeps, and Pigs do NOT normally transmit Disease to humans, however Domesticated Animals which die of Disease can be loaded into Long Range Mortars by pilgrims who have learned the Plague Handling Skill.
