The common cold is a contagious disease that can be caught and transmitted by players in Redmont.
Signs and symptoms
Players who contract a common cold will feel "stuffy" and will always be confused. Coughing and a sore throat are also common symptoms of a cold in Redmont.
Causes
A player can catch a common cold by experiencing a body temperature of less than 33°C. It is also possible for a player to catch a cold from another player who is suffering.
Management
A common cold is highly contagious and so management efforts focus on treating the condition and also limiting its spread.
The treatment for a common cold is cough syrup. It is crafted with glow berries, a glass bottle, a honey bottle, and a magma cream.
Epidemiology
The common cold is a contagious condition with an 8% chance of transmission between players within a three-block radius. In the past, a more virulent strain of the disease had a 50% chance of transmission within an eight-block radius. This more virulent strain is now believed extinct.
History
A common cold was the main disease spread during the May 2025 Moon Plague outbreak. In the later stages of the outbreak, players were infected with both common cold and chicken pox.
