Even when you're not, right?!? It's annoying.

I had the same thing happen to me. I literally thought everyone was racist against my Khajiit character.
10:23PM Sun, December 04 2011
@nmckerrall

your sickness is listed under Magic: Active Effects.
10:23PM Sun, December 04 2011
@Rabble_Rowser
New York
You got a disease from fighting rats, vampires, wolves etc. Just use a potion of cure disease to clear that right up!
10:23PM Sun, December 04 2011
@KJanitor
WNY
Because you've probably contracted a disease in game!
10:23PM Sun, December 04 2011
@andrew_kim

If it's the vampire one, you should hurry. After 3 days you turn into one (unless you want to/don't care).

@joechummer

Under MAGIC, check your active effects. Red things are diseases or debuffs. Activate a shrine or drink a cure disease potion.
10:24PM Sun, December 04 2011
@RvLeshrac
Drink a Cure Disease. You have one.

You're not passing fire out your backside, are you?
10:24PM Sun, December 04 2011
@rac2750

Because you have some kind of disease. Drink a Potion of Cure Disease and they'll stop.
10:24PM Sun, December 04 2011
@RvLeshrac
You can see what you have under Magic -> Active Effects.
10:24PM Sun, December 04 2011
@krisk79

Either because you're tired, or you actually have a disease. Check active effects in magic menu.
10:25PM Sun, December 04 2011
@jdesler

You probably have an illness. Check the 'Active Effects' tab in the magic menu.
10:25PM Sun, December 04 2011
@anri22
Because you are sick. Get thee to a shrine!
10:25PM Sun, December 04 2011

@ianmunroe

Cause you have a curse or been poisoned
10:27PM Sun, December 04 2011
@danreyno7
Because your character has a disease. The game does a poor job of showing this directly.
10:27PM Sun, December 04 2011
@kreepychef
Lake Placid
because you have not slept and probably just take potions to cure yourself. Happens to me all the time. :)
10:28PM Sun, December 04 2011
@p1r4t3_k1ng

You probably caught a Kobold STD. Or vampirism. Or Nords are just jerks.
10:28PM Sun, December 04 2011
@Razz
If no one's replied: you probably contracted a disease from a bear or something. Visit a shrine or drink a "Cure Disease" potion.
10:29PM Sun, December 04 2011
@InfinitySparrow
Check in your Active Effects tab. You might have a disease.

You have a disease. Cure it at a shrine or with a potion of cure disease. Check "active effects" to see what sickness.

It's because you haven't slept.

The disease should be in red under Active Effects in the Magic menu if you're curious what you caught and what the effects are.
10:32PM Sun, December 04 2011
@LordRune

Last time I saw someone ask that question, they had Brain Fever and didn't know it.
10:32PM Sun, December 04 2011
@LordRune
Kansas
In the game, of course. You personally don't have Brain Fever... or do you?
10:33PM Sun, December 04 2011
@DragonkinSverd
You have a disease. Go to a temple or hall of the dead and worship at the altar. Also the statue by the Talos guy in White Run.

I assume you are playing a dark elf, which compared to most of the human Skyrim population, does look sickly.

@rcfitz81
check your active effects. You're probably diseased
11:04PM Sun, December 04 2011
@weareatomik
The simplest way to fix said status effect is to "Use" an altar at any Temple. There's one behind the crazy guy in Whiterun.

Check your Active Effects under the Magic tab. You'll have to go to a shrine or get a healing for a red effect. :)

you are diseased. Possibly rockjoint, or maybe scabies (probably not, maybe). Get cured.
4:08AM Mon, December 05 2011
@largopredator

You probably are. Don't you know you can contract Weary Ass whenever you swing your sword? Just fistbump some shrine to cure all.

you're covered in dragon blood?
5:57AM Mon, December 05 2011

9:40AM Mon, December 05 2011
@wizothorns
Probably at home or work
One would think that but I think my game is broken as Ive never had an active disease on a character when comment's been made
9:49AM Mon, December 05 2011
@IrkenKeyblade
Animals are generally the culprit. >_< I don't think it always tells you when they infect you.
9:51AM Mon, December 05 2011
@wizothorns
Probably at home or work
Interesting, well thanks, now if I could only figure out why I can't fast travel (constant pursuit of non-existent guards)
9:52AM Mon, December 05 2011
@IrkenKeyblade
Maybe try getting a horse? Ride away from wherever you are until there's nothing red on the radar/compass and then travel.
9:55AM Mon, December 05 2011
@wizothorns
Probably at home or work
The only way i've been able to travel is walking to a city and taking the carriage, then if I try again, I still can't
9:56AM Mon, December 05 2011
