I died because I ate burned food
And I died while sleeping after eating a very good meal. Is this logical?

burned food, uncooked food, rotting food, tainted water, poisonous food (mushroom, berries) : all can kill you.

This will drop your hp really quickly. If it's just a tiny small bit you can survive; but if it's more, you get sick up to the fever stage, and your health will drop even faster.

Assuming you noticed your mistake immediately, it's possible to eat some lemongrass to cure yourself.
Otherwise, drop your body temp (shoes only, + no insulation wet clothing, + water with you because if will go down fast) if you are getting too hot, eat as much as possible (bursting moodlet). Don't sleep since it's better to keep yourself full than sleeping.

SIde note, if you were bleeding and used a bandage, don't remove it as you might still be bleeding - making you lose a tiny more health in the process of changing the bandage. that could be the small amount that kill you in the end.

Not true. For one, you don't remove a bandaid unless you have one to replace it. And two, if you do replace it, you're going to do so immediately. Whatever iota of blood you lost isn't going to matter because you're going to get it right back with the new bandage, sleep, and food.
You should never bleed out from removing a bandage if you can replace it and don't replace it at the last second.

I took antibiotics when I woke up at 5% health but it was too late. After surviving more than 3 months... disgusting.

This is a familiar discussion.

The 'burning' bar when you overcook something is indicative of more than just 'oh I made this toast a little caramelized.' If it reaches the end of the meter, it means the food has literally caught fire and if it keeps getting cooked, it will probably catch the house on fire and burn down your place. Some people don't seem to understand that past a certain point in the burning meter your 'food' is a mess of ashes and charcoal.

It is no longer 'a very good meal,' it's like eating leftovers from the fireplace.

You can bleed out from full health to none in less than 10 seconds from a neck, he's right it can make a difference if you have extremely low health.

On their own, yes, you won't bleed out if you have another bandage. When dying because of food poisoning & fever, every tiny bit of health will help. You probably never did survive bad food poisoning in PZ to say that, or didn't read what this topic is about.
Also, if it's the neck, you bleed out in matter of second - if the bandage is in a bag you can die from bleeding, if you are too slow.
