The effects of the disease itself are pretty clear, but I'm not clear on how exactly it ends up infecting a PC.
For example, the worm maw's Drain Thoughts power (page 12) says that "the target contracts" the disease. The eye of madness' Burst of Terror power (page 27) says "the target is affected by Distant Madness. If the target is already affected, its condition worsens by one step".
Ordinarily I would read the wom maw's power as meaning that the disease is automatically contracted (ie. there is no exposure save at the end of the encounter) but the wording on the eye of madness seems to that it is the "worse" version.
I'm also not clear on whether the Heal skill can be used to treat a creature suffering Distant Madness. As the adventure says nothing to the contrary, am I right in think that the general rule applies (ie. a Heal check can be used during an extended rest)?
