A radioactive mineral is not a bad suggestion.

At some point there really should be repercussions for using pitchblende for barrels.

Lead poisoning -

Dwarves go mad if they drink out of lead goblets too often, or if their bedroom walls are rich in lead.

You're both right, and you should keep saying it.

These are good suggestions. Also, eating organs has a small chance of getting people sick. Maybe this should be called the Any Suggestions Thread, as we’ve kinda been using this for both good and bad suggestions. Here is an actually bad suggestion, probably, unless it’s a good one, every creature can randomly become incorporeal and back to corporeality, all without the creature knowing

Introducing toxicity in inorganic materials, along with toxic plants, could be a good idea.

Just imagine an entire fortress suffering from saturnism from drinking water and alcohol which was contained in lead barrels or carried in lead pipes, a dwarf turning blue after drinking the result of experiments involving silver or a gold miner dyinf from manipulating mercury.

Improved.

Milk is the only safe beverage, but fort residents still don't drink it. Needless to say, becoming a werebeast/vampire/necromancer also turns them into a satanist. Satanists will randomly kill and mutilate themselves and others. Naturally, the lack of a Satan in their mythology also causes distraction from being unable to pray.

But every dwarf is lactoze intolerant. Miasma spawning doubled

Graffiti engravings. You just have random spots in the fortress saying Urist was here.

Oh gods, please let this be a thing and let them be like those old-ass graffiti works.
"Podom, I did your mother in the stockpile."
"Lortak likes men."
The words "public toilet" scrawled on your hospital's well.
"This is very high" on the topmost block of your 20z tall obelisk.
If you have a dye workshop, they'll appear in various colors and can be washed off with water.

The exact opposite of food.

The exact opposite of food.

Anti food: when ingested, makes them more hungry. Anti feces slow down plantgrowth when used as fertilizer

Anti diarrhea: It somehow gives dwarves explosive diarrhea. Literally. They just explode into a cloud of magma mist and miasma.

Anti miasma caused by the explosions smells like the best thing ever, since it’s the opposite of miasma. This causes dwarves and other creatures to be starved or dehydrated to death by standing in and smelling the stuff while forgetting about their survival needs

Speaking of. Gnome blight addiction and general drug addiction. Take too much and seemingly happy dwarf turns into berserker. Without a doze even more bad thoughts come, immediate tantrum and suicide attempts.

Elven visitors will sell it to your dwarves for their valuables or the clothes off their backs (even if that's an adamantine breastplate.) If a dwarf doesn't have anything to trade, they'll steal something, possibly resulting in a hammering.

Introduce marijuana, derived from existing hemp plants.  Dwarves who use it experience a drop in stress and are far less likely to start fights, but will also devour mass amounts of food and booze until they come down off their high.  There's also a small chance they'll have a bad trip, resulting in a huge burst of stress.

It can also give your dwarves cyclic vomiting syndrome. This is basically just cave adaptation, but random.
