Why am I sick in Skyrim?

You're sick in Skyrim because you've likely contracted a disease from enemies (like Skeevers, Wolves, or Vampires) or traps, which causes negative stat effects, but you can cure it at a Shrine, with a "Cure Disease" potion, or by eating garlic bread; sometimes NPCs comment on you looking sick even when you're not, as a quirk of the game or a sales tactic by alchemists. Check your "Magic" menu under "Active Effects" to see the red-listed illness and its penalty, then use a shrine (like the one in Whiterun) or a potion to heal, says Reddit users and GameFAQs users.
