Perhaps instead of death or sickness... They are rendered unconscious as a great load of knowledge is forced into their mind. When they awake the knowledge can have effects on their lives. The knowledge itself would be a "conscious being" withing the characters mind. The character could try to control that knowledge and learn from it, but lose the ability to pass it on to others directly. They would speak or write in code and riddle whenever asked about any information gained this way. Or if they don't pursue it, the knowledge could spring up at inoppurtune times (ie. a guard asks you about a criminal and you suddenly blurt out some intimate detail only the criminals men would know)
Just an idea... but I feel I'm having trouble conveying it. If you don't understand just ask and I'll try again to explain better.
