WTF is happening, Sick from fat AND cooked meat

[Mr. Belding]

So, I’m very new to this game. Like an idiot I didn’t think and just ate raw fat (Not sure why I thought raw fat wasn’t just raw meat)

Anyway, I ate it all in a sitting and got Salmonella directly after.

I navigated to my cooking spot, killed a zombie who happened to have 3 charcoal tabs (Lucky me) and ate them one after another after the pill icon disappeared. This was on a yellow stomach, and yellow water.

While sick, I went to the closest fireplace and cooked all the meat, within 20 minutes all the goat steaks were cooked.

I ate those steaks 2 bites at a time, got my food and water in the white and kept it there for 90 min, slowly eating but it didn’t go away by itself

Next morning I navigated to a medical center after a stop at the police station for a pistol.

I looted it, found 4 charcoal, logged out. I did this 4 more times, logging back in after an hour and quickly looted. I only had 2 steaks left so this was my only option really, I was out of food.

I ended up with 9 vitamins, 4 charcoal, 12 tetra, amongst other things

I ate 1 charcoal and 1 vitamin and it was gone in 3 minutes.

Out of food, I went to go kill a near by cow, quartered it, cooked it. While waiting I took bites of the 2 steaks I had left and they got me sick AGAIN. I took another charcoal and vitamin immediately and it was gone again.

For some reason all the meat from that one animal was making me sick.

The only thing I can think of is that my knife was also my zombie-killing knife, but surely this game isn’t that in depth right? There’s no way my knife was infected and infected the whole animal right? What else could be happening

Are you wearing Gloves? Are they ruined?
If NOT wearing gloves, or your gloves are ruined, are your hands clean, or bloody?

would agree with above, hands are dirty or maybe you have contaminated something like cook pot or water bottle? is there water in the pot? if so where did you get the water?

Was it wolf or bear meat? That has a chance to give you the disease. Also this:

''Salmonella has small chance of transferring from the survivor into the food they eat and water they drink, so avoid sharing those items with sick people. After recovering from the disease, this transmission can also cause a reinfection from the survivor's own water and leftover food, so any partly-eaten food items should be discarded, and all water either purified or poured out as a precaution.''

You can cause sick by eating bear and wolf steak and fat. even if cooked. It's absurd. so don't eat that meats.

bear and wolf fat (cooked) does not make me sick, but the meat yes it is not good and makes you sick.
