Treating "Minor Damage"

[Mutant]

In the health menu my health is slowly declining because I have an injury called "Minor Damage". At the bottom of the screen it says "right click to show treatment menu" but nothing I right click works. I have a first aid kit. I looked at different discussions and I've tried the following; restarting the game, equipping the first aid kit, right clicking the injury. What am I doing wrong?

Minor Damage isn't a specific injury itself, it's just a descriptor of your overall health. You can't treat it directly, you just have to rest and eat well to recover overtime.

As to what is causing it, your health dropping slowly over time sounds like you've either carrying to much or have caught some kind of illness. Carrying too much can quickly drain your health.

That text is just another way to see your health bar. every 10% step will show something, from "Ok" to "deceased"

- first aid kit do nothing, it's just a container which normally have some medical items inside
- what injury you have? scratch, laceration or bitten wound? these wound you need to apply bandage to stop bleeding and even after healed you'll have some chance to get zombie infection which can cause sickness and no cure in vanilla game if these wound caused by zombies
- if you have no wound, is your character sick? you can get sick from eat uncooked foods, eat spoiled foods, drink tainted water, or spend some time near corpses and inhale too much miasma
- if no wound or no sickness, do your character carry too much weight? carry very heavy load can cause damage to your body aka reduce your health bar

"minor damage" just tell you that your health bar is slightly reduced, sometimes it just health drop and doesn't need addition care. Eat some food until you gain food buff and your health bar will start regen (even without food buff it can regen but with very slow rate)

Thank you, I feel unbelievably stupid.
