How to Get Sick — and How to Feel Better

     Getting sick is no fun. Frankly, neither is taking medicine even though you know it will make you feel better. There are many known bugs out there that can get your Neopet sick; some species have allergies that will get them sick as well. There are also many known cures with specific items to pick up at the Neopian Pharmacy, Lost Desert Medicine, or Remarkable Restoratives. You may also get lucky at the Healing Springs and get your active Neopet or all your Neopets cured.

     I will discuss both illnesses (so you can know to avoid certain things) and cures (in hopes of helping you care for your sick Neopet) in this handy guide!

     Getting Sick
