Dangmar's Fever[1], or Waimalu Fever[2], was a disease found on Waimalu whose symptoms included high fever, sweating, and in extreme cases, causing a blueish tint to the skin.[1]

In 3025, the fever was reputed to be an unconquered disease, which supposedly killed 50% of visitors to the planet.[2]

As of 3072, the death rate for residents of the world was around 3%, but the worst outbreak in a century ended up with a virus that mutated into more drug-resistant strains. Because of this, when scientist were on the verge of eradicating the disease, the new strains could top 10% in fatality rates.[1]
