just load to the pint before you got infected.

Try this: Go home, drink 4-5 antibiotics (just do it, don't pay attention to hp), then drink morphine and go to bed, I heard that it would greatly help reduce the infection

The Dead Item Shop has what you need.

I'm essentially in the same spot and the main thing that put my saves on an exponentially downhill slide is that I failed to understand how the infection progresses.

I managed it by taking tinctures to move the green part of the bar up, but the red part represents how far it has progressed, similar to NPC's infection meters. The higher the red part of the meter is, the more regularly you will take health damage. So that needs to be controlled with antibiotics (which also damage your health) in order to keep the infection managed over time and not put you in a death spiral.

If you end up reloading maybe this will help you. I myself will have to rewind my game by at least a day.

Why it shouldn't work? This is the only way. You cannot "craft" the cure in this game, only slow down the infection. You have to trade or find the children made boxes of powder which is the cure but it fcks up your hp well. (if you will be extremely careful and pro in combat to not lose much hp you can only get max 4 portions of cured blood later which stops the infection entirely but I doubt you'll manage to do that since you're struggling for no reason already, sorry if sounded to rude, I'm just telling the fact). But yeah, I never got infected in this game randomly, only on purpose to drain away the infection from a girl at day 6 (or 5 ?) and become infected myself. So you're definitely doing something wrong. Even more, if you're willing to discover all the events and treat all the people, you will have to use coffee, lemons, bandages and most importantly yellow tincture+ that gives you a lot of immunity and removes exhaustion (which is pretty common to craft if you go every night to harvest herbs to cemetery, ritual stone where you slained the bull and abandonded village near the right end of the map (which is a perfect place to look for herbs because there are 3 gardens where they grow, u will easily spot them at night because of glow from herbs). Just look at map and make a route, follow it starting from cemetery, then to the ritual stone, then to abandonded village. You will get around 12-16 herbs of each color and around 8-12 of the herb needed to make yellow tincture+ (guess it's called savyur) I was using yellow tincture+ often to just to remove exhaustion, not to increase immunity and I ran the entire game with almost full immunity all the time. Also always look after your clothes so they not worn out entirely otherwise your immunity will fall down much faster in plague areas. Hope it helps

Don't forget the end of the stream underneath the lair. It's probably the best place to get herbs, hands down, because it's not far from your own brewing space, they respawn every night at midnight, and there's a TON. Even more than the abandoned village, the ritual stone, and cemetery. I just got 24 brown twyre and about 10-16 blood, black, and swevery.
It might also be random, but in my playthrough swevery appears the be the most common "rare" herb. I find a lot, as aforementioned. Makes yellow tincture+s really easy to make.

Yeah I noticed that place too, don't know, it seemed heavely random to me, herbs looked like they spawned in different places all the time and after looting them for 2 times I noticed they spawned much less than they were? So as for me the village is the best spot, despite it's too far from other events.
P.S. Yeah, also the swevery (not sure if it's correct, I have different language) is the most common "rare" plant to me as well, not so rare even :)

Nope, you can actually take 5 vials out. I was a bit careless and drank from one source and still took out 4 vials.

Well I can't remember exactly honestly, there was 1 blood source in the very beginning and I used it straight away. Yeah well you can actually get 5 but I used one too at the beginning just to see what it does and decided to leave as it is and not to reload.

btw, does anyone know how do you get an achievement "one for all" (face future with Lara, Grief and Stakh together)? Stakh died in my walkthrough because of his conflict with the locals, wasn't infected, I used to protect him twice. He certainly has his shadow at the farewell endgame part near Lara and Grief so it's possible to keep him alive. I'm thinking maybe if you do not help him at the warehouse for the first time maybe he gets interrupted and cannot perform his surgery and the locals leave him alive? (I know whom he had killed there since I played Bachelor's story in pathologic 1, he died because of his guilt and sorrow cuz later he discovered he was alive)
