Getting overheating and queasy

[SchlabberLachs]

Hi there,
I played a lot in the last days and often encounter something strange. After a while my character ist getting hotter and then queasy. The first time I thought I was infected, so I killed myself and start again. I'm playing this game with friends, so its quit annoying to start with a new character every few hours.

Yesterday my character was bitten to the death and I spawned as a new character again. But I'm so frustreted and desiced to protect my new character as good as possible.

So we were on a looting-tour and ancounter some zombies. One of them was able to hurt me. I have a laceration on my neck, but not a scratch or bite. So I returned to base, eat a lot and sleep as much as possible. After some time my character is getting hotter and I get the queasy mood.

Can it be a infection? I thought its impossible without a sratch or bite. I cleaned the wound with alcohol many times and use sterile bandages. Is this the end again?

Well a laceration is between a scratch and a bite, so if both of them can spread it, so can a laceration, one would think anyway.

Alternatively, the character could just be sick, it does happen from what I recall. If you spent a lot of time wet/cold etc.

Lacerations can indeed spread the infection. Getting hot is a sign of a fever and queasy is usually an indication you're infected, at least within this context. Think you're a goner mate. lol

Scratch is 7% chance of infection, Laceration is 25% chance, bite is 100% on default settings.

If the host set transmission to saliva, only the bite can infect you.
