Daemon Targaryen, the rebellious brother of King Viserys Targaryen got the Crabfeeder’s blood on him during the final battle at the end of episode 3 inHouse of the Dragon.The case now remains about whether the fictional disease called “greyscale” affects the treacherous brother or not.
Since greyscale is from the now destroyed city of Valyria from whence the disease emerged, it is now a question of whether or not the disease affects the royal blood of the last surviving family from Old Valyria.

Greyscale Unaffected On Daemon Targaryen’s Royal Blood
It was back at the beginning ofGame of Thronesthat the elder son of Aerys Targaryen aka The Mad King Viserys Targaryen fled the capitol along with a young Daenerys Targaryen. It was briefly addressed in George R.R. Martin’s bookA Dance With Dragonsabout Daenyrs remarking about a point made by her brother Viserys Targaryen about how they are different from common men.

“We are untroubled by the pestilences that afflicted common men,”said Viserys Targaryen which seemingly refers to the Greyscale disease that spread throughout all the seven kingdoms from the city of Old Valyria.
A theory states that after the prophesied Doom of Valyria, the Greyscale disease originated among those ruined walls. Since the Targaryens have the old blood of Valyria flowing through their veins, it would not be a far stretch to imagine thatMatt Smith’sDaemon Targaryen is immune to the disease.
Another example of a Targaryen escaping the painful illness of Greyscale is the Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen (played byEmilia Clarke). Back in season 5, Daenerys’ advisor Ser Jorah Mormont was affected by Greyscale when he and Tyrion Lannister tried to cross through the ruins of Old Valyria. After showing a rock-hard layer on the wrist of Ser Jorah, he shook the hand of Daenerys with fans worried about her health.
But the disease seemed to never appear on the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms making it a valid argument regarding the Targaryen’s immunity against the disease. This could very well mean that Daemon Targaryen, though being smeared on by the blood of the Crabfeeder, is out of the danger zone…for now.
