Delay disease and mummy rot

[Tormad]

Hey guys, I have a quick question. Does Delay disease work for mummy rot? With paladin divine health, it specifically calls out mummy rot where this spell does not.

Delay Disease:

Delay Disease
School conjuration (healing); Level alchemist 2, cleric 2, druid 2, inquisitor 2, paladin 2, ranger 2, witch 1

CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF

EFFECT
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration 1 day
Saving Throw Fort negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)

DESCRIPTION
The target becomes temporarily immune to disease. Any disease to which it is exposed during the spell's duration does not affect the target until the spell's duration has expired. If the target is currently infected with a disease, you must make a caster level check against the disease's DC to suspend it for the duration of the spell; otherwise, that disease affects the target normally. Delay disease does not cure any damage a disease may have already done.

Thanks in advanced.

Yes, Delay Disease does make you immune to Mummy Rot and any other effect that is a disease even if it counts as a disease and a curse.

If you need some RAW substantiation behind this besides logic, this Paladin FAQ should work.
"Paladin: If I'm immune to disease, am I immune to mummy rot, which is both a curse and a disease?
Yes."

Thank you much for that insight.

Only if you are a Ratfolk. It's from the Advanced Race Guide.
