Do you build a tolerance for 'bad' food?

[Bubba Fett]

If you eat something that you have a bad reaction to more often, do you build up a tolerance to it? (fish, animal flesh, mushrooms, etc)

Also, should you finish the problem food, get the reaction, then drink water to feel better, or is it better to just have a few bites and stop before you have the reaction?

i guess dont eat to much of it,

If you're getting a bad reaction you shouldn't eat it unless you're using it to cure something.

For example - eating *one bite* of a mushroom will cure some stomach ailments, but eating it on a healthy stomach will *cause* a stomach ailment.

For meat - you need to cook stuff that's giving you a bad reaction.

Also, you can get an RNG bad reaction sometimes from eating stuff that's usually okay. This is you eating a "green or rotten" fruit for example. There's no way to tell it's green or rotten before you eat it, it's just Random.

Eat it.

Yes you build tolerance.

Your eating skill tree branches out into Meat, Roots, Eggs, Insects, Berries, Mushrooms, etc. and you need to eat more of it to progress each branch.

You get sick, but its the only way.

You'll notice when you eat more of different foods you'll unlock the "Omivore" status.

You dont start off as an omnivore, you start off as a forager that can only eat berries and roots.

Curing yourself by diluting the stomach ache also increases experience. I gained a tolerance to mushrooms by curing my indigestion through water.

Thanks for the info. I keep forgetting about the eggs. (had a bad experience with a bird once) Lots of snake nests on the ground though. ;^)
