I'm sick and in pain
So I got 3 lacerations from zombies. Now my character is sick and is in pain. Bleeding has stopped long ago and there appears to be no infection in the health section. So am I just really lucky or dumb?

Your days are numbered :)

Turning probably can’t always identify infected.

Oh and. I've been drinking tap water only. Can this be the reason?

sick and pain? i think you are about to turn. get your affairs in order and R.I.P

Alright, little update. Sickness evolved into desire to puke (I'm playing Russian version so idk this moodle in English) and pain seems to slowly go away.

In my short experience (but I may be wrong), a zombie infection wound won't go away.. Before going YoloMyLifeIsOver I suggest trying to hold on for a little longer, see if it heals. If I remember correctly each laceration is just a 25% zombie infection chance.

This is exactly why I am confused. I don't have infection, but my character is sick. Do you think it's just food poisoning? Bet my character is just like me and she hates corn.

Lol could be food poisoning you’ll know if you are able to get anti biotics since that’s ill cure it

Each laceration is a 25% chance to zombify (scratch is 7%, bite 100%)

Sickness and pain could be signs of zombification...but not only
Now, if you are about to turn zombie, these moodlets will never go away and will worsen over time...plus there will be some more moodlets too like panic and queasy

I dont know what you call tap water...if it is tainted (not pure...) water, it could be that too

Animalman Aug 3, 2021 @ 8:25am

Would be nice to know how much time passed and whether you have prone to illness or not.
Since on a normal guy you would turn in around 2 days. However developing a fever from food poisoning can take as much as 3-5 days. Allthough by the time you get fever it is nearly game over. If you passed day 3, well yeah it is a good idea to use the antibiotics. If you are not...well what does it matter?:D You will turn into a zombie:)

Antibiotics are not working! I have fever, no pain though. Rebooting the game to allow overlay and screenshot the whole thing.
chcl Aug 3, 2021 @ 8:43am 
So... yeah. It was zombie infection in the end. Why the hell wasn't it labeled as one? And why my pain moodle suddenly disappeared? And why lacerations went away just like they were nothing? So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ strange.
