   Famine is a high level clerical spell which curses the target with a large
appetite and unquenchable thirst.  If the target does not make a conscious and
determined effort to satisfy its thirst and hunger, death can result.  The
curse has a long duration, and curses lasting weeks, months, or years have
been known.

Putting this curse on someone is considered an offensive act.  The curse
itself can be removed with 'dispel magic', but only with great difficulty. It
is far more effective to attempt to undo the spell with a cleric who is adept
in the art of removing curses.
