     Right now, as far as I know, the only diseases come from spells or traps.

  Yep.  You'd also probably need to change the fact that diseases normally die 
out after a little while.

  This could be a potential problem in that players enters map, quickly catches 
disease so leaves map, casts cure disease, waits a few minutes, and by the time 
he re-enters, the disease is gone from the map with a bunch of a dead monsters.

  What I think would probably be more interesting, and taking a note from other 
games, is that some monsters could carry diseases, and thus infect the player 
when they hit.

  the other thought I've long had is that flesh could decompose (like demon 
ichor does right now).  However, it'd probably be in three stages: 1) flesh is 
still fresh, and perfectly fine. 2) flesh is rotting, perhap diseased, perhaps 
poisoned, perhaps ok to eat, perhaps not.  3) flesh disintegrates - no longer on 
map.
