Salmonellosis (food poisoning)
Hey there fellow survivors,
I have food poisoning after eating with bloody hands (doh!). It is not damaging my health but it is very irritating and I have to eat and drink a little at a time to avoid vomiting.

I have eaten about 6 charcoal tabs one after the other and it hasn't helped and I have none left. Does anyone have experience of this condition curing itself naturally and if so, roughly how long does it persist?

thanks!

Nice - thanks for coming back to me mate.:steamthumbsup:
This was what I was hoping - I am finding it quite easy to stay healthy despite the poisoning, (all icons white, food and drink nearly full, health and blood are totally full) so I will wait for nature to take its course :steamthumbsup:

It can take some time, but it will go away.. like the guru etwas wrote :), keep blood and health high.. together with water or food.

Not long after posting the question I found a couple more charcoal tabs in a clinic and, with a saline IV for good measure, got rid of the poisoning.

Then 20 minutes later I'm dead after a PvP encounter in Novy Sobor police station didn't go my way. What a game! :steamthumbsup:

I've always found it annoying that every sickness has the same exact icon.
I mean I am pretty sure I would know the difference between sepsis from an infected wound or diarrhea from bad water but the game presents the same icon even though the method to treat is different.

Often it's obvious given your avatars reactions but not always.

Yes, I was thinking the charcoal did not really work so will try tetracycline next time (or just remember not to eat with bloody hands!).

To be honest, it's pretty confusing because the link you posted says to take charcoal for Salmonella...

Yeah, charcoal is for salmonella. It doesn't do anything to other diseases. Salmonella is actually completely resistant to tetracycline.
Vitamins or just natural immunity will also work.

Salmonella has two stages now. In the first stage you need charcoal, but if you reached the second stage (louder moaning, more blurred vision) you need tetra to get down to the first stage of desease and then take the charcoal. At least this was my experience with salmonella (I ate with bloody hands)

hand wrapping, so easy and one of the most important first steps in the game.
