Antibiotics didn't cure my food poisoning
Took 10 of them. No good. I was on a 50 day challenge. Wolf coat. Everything under control. Entered coastal highway. Kept popping the pills nothing. Went seaching for the berries. Picked three bushes. Not enough to make a brew. Life ebbing away. Took more antibiotics. Nothing. Pitch black. Desperately trying to reach last bush. Wolf with greeN eyes takes an immediate dislike for me. Stalking me. Torch dies out. Throat ripped open. Dead.

Stupid stupid evil game.

Wat? when you take TWO pills, you go to sleep for 10 hours and it will heal after that. if you didn't sleep, that's why.

no need taking 10 of them unless you mean parisites instead of food posioning.

Lol! And also... picking Rose Hips to make tea does not good for food poisoning or internal parasites. Rose Hip Tea is a replacement for painkillers. Resihi Mushroom Tea is the natural replacement for antibiotics, and it has to be used from the First Aid menu to be effective. Drinking medicinal teas from your baclpacl inventory treats them ans food, and only gives you 100 calories, and no medical benefits.

The game has a steep learning curve by design. Most long time players will tell you they had tp die to learn many things they hard way too, before they learned all or most if the secrets and intricacies of the game and it's mechanics, before surviving for long times. But you have new knowledge now. Take it with you and give it another go. And after that death, take the knowledge of what happened that time forward to the next one. Lather, rinse, repeat, lol! :)

and it's not berry bushes you might have needed, it's reishi mushrooms for antibiotic effect, but yeah, sounds like you needed to sleep :/ ul

I took reishi too and I did go to sleep. I slept and my sleep notification went straight to red.

Take reishi or antibiotics. Sleep 10 hours. Done. Keep in mind you wony be recovering condition while you're sick.

If the standard procedure for treating food poisoning, as the OP says he did in #6, did not cure the affliction, then all I can say is that there was a glitch in the game.

Once that is determined, the priority is to restore the game to a glitch-less condition, typically by finding a convenient spot to save and then quit/restart, and not just carry on in the hopes that by using more medication and/or repeating the treatment protocol that the glitch will resolve itself. If save/quit/restart does not clear up the glitch then the player is in real trouble with a persistent problem (and should report the bug) that can mean a bad ending (as happened).

Unfortunately, one of those things.

OP said OP took pills and then wandered around losing condition and not resting.

because the game still exists and is still playable.
