Curing Food Poisoning

[Keag]

So you're supposed to cure food poisoning with anitbiotics? Yes, I know how to prevent it in the first place, but I mean when it does happen. It doesn't seem to work for me, or at least not like taking anti-rads cures radiation poisoning ie immeadatly - am I missing something?

Anti-rads cures radpois immediately. Antibiotics should do the same for foodpois, haven't had the chance to test this out.

For me, it takes 1-2 seconds for antibiotics to cure food poisoning. That or I just put them to bed for a day for them to get over it.

I just had 2 people get food poisoning and antibiotics didn't cure it for either of them. And they got food poisoning from bad hygene which seems a bit far fetched.

Food poisoning from filthy conditions actually makes perfect sense. Its kind of the reason the whole "wash your hands before you eat" thing came around...

[Kevlar]

Antibiotics doesn't do anything for food poisoning, it's to fix a broken conditions atm called 'illness.infection1' or something like that. It happens when your characters are dirty and wounded for an extended period of time, particularly when sleeping.

The only way to cure food poisoning is keeping clean and lots of bedrest and fluids.

the best way to prevent it is to shower before eating and the only way to get rid of it is to clean wounds and sleep, shower and drink water

The luxury bed you can make from a blueprint cures it too

[Goweigus]

pretty sure there are herbs you can find to make a medicine for food poisoning?

What I do: before sending people out on an expedition, I disable automation for them. As soon as they return, I send them to a shower, and re-enable automation (otherwise, they are too stupid to clean up before eating).

Hi folks,

Antibiotics cure infections that can be caught through bleeding status, rather than food poisoning. Try a homemade anti-emetic instead. Be careful though... homemade medicines aren't guaranteed to work 100% of the time... :)

Would be nice if they did prioritize cleaning over eating if they're so filthy they'll make themselves sick if they try to eat.
