Yellow Fever

[alcelga gamer]

Have a attack of yellow fever in my town, and it has healed with out hospitals, how?
Sorry for my english, i'm really bad in this

Most likely answer: They Died.

However it is possible for certain things that your citizens "get over it." Less likely, but possible (as far as I understand). So long as you have an Herbalist, the citizens will treat this like a pseudo doctor (helps keep health up). A healthy citizen is more likely to improve from a sickness (in general, and faster) than an unhealthy one (one to five hearts).

They don't have died, i'm sure. it's a new city, with out hospital or herbalist, but they are very happy and healthys. Only 1 citizen has died, thank you :)

I have a game going on CC mod with the Adam & Eve start... About 8 years in with one kid, I notice health dropping. I try to finish building some of my structures to try and increase food variety because I had herbs stocked and they weren't using them.

It didn't get better after I varied the food, it got worse. My Adam got dysenterry, so I put Eve in the herbalist's hut and she quickly gathered the limit, then Adam got better and their health began to improve.

So, I think it's not enough to have herbs, but you need the herbalist or a physician to prescribe the herbs and medicines. Without the active physician or herbalist, the citizen doesn't know to use a poultice. Not sure if educated vs. uneducated makes a difference here though. I always improve my citizens' health by staffing at least 1 herbalist and/or physician.

That is correct, the citizens pick up herbs from storage and then take them to a herbalist hut (one that is being worked) to actually use them.

Can you confirm if an educated citizen will be able to use medicine without help thnough?

The Herbalists gather the herbs, and they're the ones who will brew them for your villagers.
If you have no one working at the herbalist hut, the herbs will stay in storage, and if your unhealthy people visit the herbalist, nothing will happen until you put a worker there.

Herbs/Herbalists only matter for the global health "hearts" thing. They can't cure people who catch a cold or fever or plague. Those need to visit the hospital.

The Hospital doesn't use herbs but again, if you have no doctor people won't get cured there. Or at least they won't get cured any faster than they would if they stayed at home.

For some diseases, your villagers can recover on their own slowly, some other will kill them if you have no hospital. If they are unhealthy to start with, they might die even if you have a doctor to try and cure them.

No, education doesn't matter in regards to herb usage. You must have a working herbalist to use herbs.
