Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it.<\/strong> Finally, you can cure multiple<\/strong> diseases and neutralize numerous poisons using Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
