   Cheeto dust negates any invisibility effect as Dust of Appearance.   
   Cheetoes have a charming ability that, if a save vs. death is failed,   
   causes the afflicted to seek out more Cheetoes obsessively to the   
   exclusion of any other activity. Dust encrustation becomes unremovable   
   after one week. Remove Curse can cure the afflicted from this obsession.   
   Cheetoes also inflict a powerful disease, High LDL, after 2 weeks of   
   prolonged contact due to the obsession. There is no save for contraction   
   of the disease. Remove Disease will be necessary should persistent   
   contact with the Cheetoes occur. High LDL causes one point of lost   
   CON/week until cured. Lost CON can be restored with a Restoration or   
   Wish/Lmtd Wish spell. At CON zero, the victim suffers Congestive Heart   
   Failure, and only Ressurection will restore such a character, clearing   
   the arteries of the afflicted. Anyone aged old or venerable automatic   
   contracts this disease upon encountering a Cheeto.
