Re: Two questions
1) There are a bunch of sites that cause disease in Dom1, but IIRC the disease causing ones are all death or level 0. This might have changed in Dom2. These diseases were not announced so it was pretty annoying - I guess you are supposed to check all your troops every time they move?
It's also possible to take damage by being too fatigued - pass out due to high magics and get stuck in a too hot/cold land (or the heat/chill effect from even friendly troops) and you can take more fatigue and get damaged. was there a mage casting fire shield nearby?
There are some creatures that cause disease - most notably the Harvesters of Sorrow. You can also make the Bane Venom Charm that does the same thing. Both of these produced Messages, however. Several artifacts also cause disease on the wielder (as does the BVC) - Fever Fetish, Rod of the Leper King, etc.
There are random events and overland spells that cause disease, too.
2) Sounds like a bug. The poison icon also shows up for some other effects like Sulphur Haze, which requires Fire resistance to avoid damage.
