« Painful lumps containing pockets of the pathogen. Very satisfying to pop but does spread disease »
— Description of the Symptom in Plague Inc.: The Board Game

Cysts are a symptom commonly found at the beginning of the branch traits affecting the skin of those infected, and are present in both Standard Plagues and other scenarios such as Frozen Virus. In addition, this symptom increases the requirement of the cure by a small amount (+0.01) when it is evolved.[1]

Multiplayer

« Lumps form around pockets of other pathogens. Slightly harder for another disease to infect or kill a person you already infect »
— In-Game description of Cysts in this mode

The Multiplayer Mode also features this symptom, although unlike its variant in Standard Plagues, evolving this symptom makes it more difficult for the opponent's plague to infect or kill the population affected by the player's plague.[2]
