Rattles is a mild common disease affecting a victim's willpower and dexterity. Symptoms include muscle spasms, paleness, restlessness, and listlessness. It can be contracted from contact with nix-hounds, zombies, or contaminated swinging blade traps.
Cairine of Markarth states that she doesn't know anyone in The Warrens who hasn't contracted either Rattles or Ataxia.
Arcadia, the owner of Arcadia's Cauldron, will commonly say, "Pardon me, but do I detect a case of the Rattles? I've got something for that."
