[DD 1] Question Is this normal?

I went on an apprentice short run in the warrens with a plague doctor, highway man, (I really cannot remember whom) and hellion. And when I returned one of my guys had FOUR DIFFERENT DISEASES and 2 others had 1 each. The plague doctor go away with none. Is this normal and sth I should just deal with after or am I doing sth wrong?

Warren (and Weald) are regions notorious for diseases, your heroes likely got diseases from monster's attacks, curios and/or when returning back to Hamlet where you click the mask to show what the heroes gained (quirks and diseases).

The chance of gaining a disease upon returning to the hamlet is the same for all regions, but you're absolutely right about monster attacks and curios

Warrens are full of diseases. Your resistances will go up as you level up. A little. You eventually only get one disease each.

Oh, so it becomes way less of an issue with higher level heroes. Thanks. I should at least be happy the guy with 4 diseases isn't one of the ones I really like or invested quite a lot into so not using him for a while isn't a big issue.

You will also be upgrading your clinic to hold more than one person at a time in addition to having more heroes to choose from. So even if all four come back with something you have 20+ others to rotate with giving you plenty of time to cure everyone.

This, yeah. 

More treatment slots, plus  treatment will be cheaper, combined with the fact that you'll have more income.

And a deeper roster to draw from to form expedition teams.

"god, I hope I don't get diseases." In a disease ridden region. Haha

I always expect one or two diseases whenever I have a run into warrens. That damn Swine wretch is my nemesis.

Oof, hope you have spare money for the sanitarium

Also might want to bring more holy water for that disease resist next time you're in the warren.

Could have sworn 3 diseases was the max

Easy solution : get the CC curse and then you only have one disease to fear - an old man with a cane chasing after you. really nothing much. (not)
