<p>The chances of getting a disease from eating raw meat should probably decrease from eating any sort of food that can possibly give you a disease, not just raw flesh. And the percentages are a bit extreme even by real life standards. Maybe starting at Salmonellae 10%, tapeworm 5%, and reducing to Salmonallae 1% and Tapeworm 0.5%
</p><p>As it stands, raw flesh has an 80% chance of giving you hunger, so you might of just gotten lucky not to of experienced any bad effects.
</p><p>Also the suggested effects of the new diseases might be a little extreme if they last as long as that. It is after all a video game and if you can recover from being poisoned and hit with several arrows and swords within 30 seconds, not being able to gain anything in the food bar for 10 minutes would be far, far more life threatening. It probably wouldn't be balanced if the effects lasted past two minutes.
