Ataxia
Ataxia in Skyrim
Acquired from	Slaughterfish, Frostbite Spiders, Skeevers
Effects	Pickpocket difficulty increased by 25% (25% harder) Lockpicking difficulty increased by 25% (25% harder) Archery difficulty increased by 25% (25% harder)

Contracted from Slaughterfish, Frostbite Spiders, Skeevers, and Traps (such as swinging axes), Ataxia causes Lockpicking and Pickpocketing to become 25% harder until cured. Luckily, Shrines of Talos are plentiful in Skyrim and will function as a cure when visited. Any Shrine will do but a Shrine of Talos may prove comparatively easier to find. NPC's may mention the player has Ataxia even after it is cured. NPC's tend to also be more general when they talk to you about Ataxia. They may say "You look sick." or something along those lines. Unlike the real life disease by the same name, Ataxia is not fatal.
