bug with cholera???

[MaFro1921]

i already took like 7 pills but it isnt healing? is this a known bug?

[etwas]

u probably have a low immune system. level it up (health, blood, thirst, hunger) and the sickness goes away by itself.

mhh really? im sitting by a fire and eating pills like an addict. health is low and i try to eat small pieces so i will not vomit again.

Yeah you're wasting pills, they dont help much (except for vitamins). You need to get either both full apple and bottle or either one of those filled up so much that the upwards arrows dont appear when you drink or eat. This can be done if you're at a pond or creek, if you already have cholera you have nothing to lose so just drink by very small increments from the pond or creek until you dont get upwards arrows over your bottle during drinking anymore - this will max out your immune system and your sickness will be cured in 10-15 IRL minutes (you need to keep drinking from time to time to keep the hydration level there). Also at that level once you're cured you will be able to drink from ponds and not get cholera and eat raw food and not get salmonella.

so i have to control my water level, so thats very important?

Even though I got a lot of hours into DayZ I rarely got sick. Well a few weeks ago I got Cholera on Namalsk due to eating snow (As if eating snow gets you this sick). So I walked to the hospital and found some antibiotics. I ate around five pills (each after the symbol disappeared) and the sickness still did not disappear. I did not mind the time it took, but the amount of pills was ridicolous. My food was white but not full, and my hydration was yellow. Every time my hydration went red I took a few sips. So when my water and food was running low in the inventory I just decided to eat/drink it all by small bites and sips the whole time. Soon my hydration went white again and soon the cholera disappeared.

Not sure getting hydration to white helped that much or if the disease was almost gone anyway due to the pills. Anyway, I thought that there was a certain threshold that you will puke regardless of eating small bites/drink small sips? Or can you actually eat and drink to a maximum? Because that is why I kept my hydration yellow as I did not want to throw up again and I expected the pills to work pretty fast.

Thats how it works. When you have all 4 icons of blood, health, apple and bottle full you have 100% immunity and you wont get any sickness whatever you do and any existing desease will be speeding towards revocery. I assume when you have 3 full and 1 semi-full white i guess your immunity is 70-80% which is apparently pretty good and heals your deseases pretty fast.

I'm not sure about it, need to test it. But i think you can eat indefinitely without puking if you do it in extremely small increments.

I've noticed if you have a water bottle and drink from it while sick, you have to disinfect it with alcohol or the disinfectant spray or you will get sick again. Not sure if that happened in your case or not, but it's one of the many small details that screws you in this game :)

Thanks a lot guys. I really apreciate your help. I try my best to get water and Food Level to maximum without vomiting . If things getting better,ill Update you!

Yeah I guess that the body's immunity is more important then I initially assumed. Back in 1.05 or so the antibiotics cured you almost instantly. I know they changed this a couple of patches ago, but did not expect it too be this severe. So when the antibiotics did not seem to do enough and my food/drinks were running low, I was like fck it and lets just try to eat and drink more and see what happens. And voila, increasing body's immunity seemed to help. So lesson learned for me is to always push hydration and energy to white level.

[MaFro1921]

great news guys. I started to eat and drinkt everything in my inventory. (had a lot of meat and a lot of peppers with me) so that my water level was on maximum. then i layed down so i would burn like zero energy and waited. after like 10minutes the cholera was cured. that means, my health was on max, water on max, blood on max and my temperature was good. but it finally disappeared, im so glad for the help in here!

Well, eating snow IRL will not only de hydrate you it will almost certainly give
you the s bigtime. EVERY survival course will tell you NOT to do that.
You need to melt it and boil/serilize it before consumtion.
So totally wrong there.
