Some Toads have been infected with the 'Blorbs and are now in a hospital resting.

The blorbs is a mysterious disease that appears in the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. This disease has spread all over the Mushroom Kingdom and infected the Toads. Fortunately, humans like Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach are immune to the disease. Those Toads that have the illness are taken aback as they grow large and round. It is thought to be caused by a poisoned food supply, although later in the game, that is proven false as Fawful sold Blorb Mushrooms to Toads, similar to how he sold the Vacuum Mushroom to Bowser. The entire case of the blorbs are wiped out by the Miracle Cure.

[edit] Trivia

Although the Blorbs are cured after Mario and Luigi use the power of the Miracle Cure, there is, humorously, one Toad that still has a blorb-like condition in Toad Town, saying that it is what he normally looks like.
