The cats sometimes fall victims to infections carried by rats.

One of these infections is called Carrionplace Disease. The first shadowclan medicine cat, pebbleheart, realized that rats were a source of disease. As ShadowClan cats sometimes ate the rats from the carrionplace in the forest, they were prone to catch these diseases. This happens in rising storm, when two ShadowClancats, littlecloud and whitethroat, come to ThunderClan for help because their Clan is in chaos from the deadly and contagious disease.  sends them away because she doesn't want ThunderClan to become infected, but cinderpelt wants to help them and comes up with a cure. Nightstar dies from Carrionplace disease during this time, which is why the Clan was in chaos (they thought it had ripped all nine lives from him when in fact he only had one life because brokenstar was still alive). Burdock root is used to stop infection from rat bites
