How to balance the rise in popularity of pathology

[gandalfphysicist]

There are actually plenty of beneficial symptoms: sunglass glands, brute healing, burn healing, oxygen conversion, oxygen production, ethanol processing, and a bunch of others. The problem is that their effects aren't very noticeable because they're usually just small regeneration effects, so people don't typically notice beneficial symptoms when they are going viral, which is making people think all pathogens are bad. (Id suggest reading the symptom list on the wiki)

Though the main issue with creating regen pathogens is actually that it's fairly difficult to aim for them due to pathology's random nature. It would be nice to be able to do something to a pathogen to make beneficial symptoms more common though. Or maybe just start with low teir brute/burn healing unlocked.
