Does eating rotten food always end up killing you?

[C O R P S E Y]

I accidently eat a rotten potato (don't ask), and now it says that I have a funny taste in my mouth. I don't have any antibiotics, will this for sure eventually kill me?

Antibiotics will not help you.

If you have Charcoal Tabs, those will save your life.

If you can't find charcoal tabs, try pumping your stomach by over-drinking from a water fountain.

If you still can't get rid of your sickness, try contacting Reddit Rescue Force and they'll send one of their dedicated rescuers to save you.

As I recall rotten food has a 50% chance of giving minor sickness, and 25% of giving moderate sickness. I think minor sickness progresses into moderate sickness so all it does is give you a little extra time. Just in case for whatever reason it glitches and doesn't get rid of the sickness when you puke make sure you have some food on you before you do it... Either way you'll want to have some good so you don't trade a sickness in return for starvation.

But, yes charcoal should take care of it and if you can't find any one of the medic groups like RRF or the trusted medics should be able to help you.

what the above poster means by " pumping" your stomach is drinking till you puke. Everything above is perfect advice

Charcoal tabs are hard to find, I think in my time I've found maybe one thing of them, I picked it up with the "I might need it later" mentality and then was sniped.

I love this game for that "oh look sticks, I'll carry two incas eI need them later... then later comes and you need room for something so you think "Oh I can get by with one set of sticks..."
and it continues. then you die from something unrelated to the sticks.

Thanks for the heads up, i'm not far from a water station, hopefully that will take care of it. I luckily have a tiny bit of food left, so this character may live to see another day!

This vid is about chemical poisoning, but it shows you roughly how to survive and how long it may take....mild foodpoisoning won't take that long as this chemical poisoning of course, but your best chance is getting some charcoal tabs asap

LoL I remember when I didn't have any food with my friend. In desperation I ate a rotten kiwi. Never again.

I would rather take the risk of picking berries from a bush than eat rotten fruit....
But pay attention, only eat the red ones, the blue ones make you sick..

[cxAxxell]

At first my mouth starts smelling bad, then sickness, and the death in a time. But I'll try to use the advices in the topic. Thanks a lot )

Not neccessarily death, keep eating and more important drinking to keep energized and hydrated at light green levels, thus you regain blood and health over time and not going unconcious...watch the vid I linked...

[PorkChop]

I have died and I have just gotten sick and gotten better after a bit of rest. Sometimes if you find you are about to die from starvation you are forced to eat that nasty stuff.

[C O R P S E Y]

uh-oh I drink until I threw up, eat some more food, and it still says that my mouth tastes funny. Things are not looking good. On a HC server, if that changes anything.

[[IFC]Mjollnir]

Crimson, throwing up does nothing, it just let's you get more thirsty than you are already, keep drinking and eating til you have the green status again, and as long as your vision isn't too blurry, keep looking for charcoal tabs...
Or, if you want, you could ask these guys for help:

You will need teamspeak...

Pork, next time give the berry-bushes a try...remember: eat the red ones, not the blue ones...
