Answer:

The fact that Oedipus killed his father and married his mother.

Explanation:

The "disease" that Oedipus refers to is the fact that he killed his father and married his mother. Oedipus did so accidentally, not knowing who the characters were, or how they were related. Nevertheless, when he finds out, he is horrified by his actions. He ends up taking his eyes out in penitence. This is where the concept of "Oedipus complex" comes from.
