Dayz diseases

Does gloves negate bloody hands when eating so you won't get sick? Also if your gloves are ruined, what happens when eating then?

[baddoggs]

Yes they do but... ruined gloves offer none at all.

I haven't caught salmonella or cholera once in my life. My characters in Dayz are the most brittle and sickly peeps i've ever met. They should be isolated to living inside a bubble

It's so dumb how you always get sick and you're always hungry now

Take your gloves off when you eat if you have blood on them.

I think they making you sick since player interaction and zombies don't seem to problems end game. So now people can't play god anymore.

last i checked if bloody hands, gloves will not protect. you can still get sick. just wash your hands.
if ruined gloves you are ok as long as your hands are clean. otherwise ruined gloves give no protection (damage/insulation) and are basicly a visual at that point.

I thought you didn't need to take your gloves off? You can't even see blood on them when you cut stuff up.

I'm so sick of this getting sick all the time. I don't eat with bloody hands. I empty water bottles out and refill them at wells. I don't eat anything raw. and I'm always making fires and stayign warm. I just don't understand how i get sick every time I play this game. It's not even fun anymore.

if hit by zeds and cut do you clean the wound and you using clean (prestine) or disinfected rags/bandages? there is also the "random" cold.

I used to get sick all the time. I stopped wearing gloves and now only occasionally for fever when getting too cold and rainy which makes you wet for long time. Even being considerate when cutting meat wasn't enough for me so I decided to stop wearing gloves and seems better to me.

Unless they changed something, you don't need to take your gloves off. Wearing gloves protects from getting your hands bloody. And you can leave the gloves on, it wont hurt you. That is, unless they changed something.. I have noticed that, ever since the update came out, I am constantly sick. It seems like if I get rained on even just a little bit, I'm sick. And then I'm sneezing and coughing and my vision keeps blurring for hours. And I can never find vitamins or tetra to help get rid of it.

Sad to say the devs still hack this game up after all these years.. I only play on Vanilla servers since i don't like mods and it has just turned into a game of fighting sicknesses. Every time i play I'm sick after 10 minutes and i spend an hour or more looking for medication or vitamins which are no where to be found and if i do find them and take them it might go away but comes right back. I do everything to avoid getting sick. It's unplayable.

For me its playable.

you guys must be doing something wrong...there are three essential parameters in the game, namely food, water and blood.
keep at least two of them maxed out (or at least full) and you'll basically never get sick.
it isn't that hard...

I only get sick when eating something bad or doing stupid things with bloody hands. Also if it's dog food etc. don't eat it all straight away. Small bits. Overeating will also make you sick and of course being wet (hypothermia). If you take care of yourself you won't have any problems with sickness. Oh and avoid toxic clouds :D
