Fever reduces the players sanity levels and will increase the rate of macro elements the player uses. It also causes reduced energy levels. Very low energy levels will cause the player to pass out for a short time.
CAUSES
Fever is usually a secondary issue caused when the player contracts another ailment such as a venom wound, infection or food poisoning.
TREATMENTFever is naturally fought off by the body over time, however the recovery time can be shortened by consuming a stew made from the Quassia Amara plant.
CAUSES
You can get a rash when coming into contact with aggressive insects such as ants and wasps
To prevent this from happening it is best to avoid going too close to anthills or wasp nests.
Using a torch will help prevent ants and wasps from attacking the player, whilst collecting items from the anthills or wasp nests
The Rash will naturally heal over time.
To speed up the healing process it's recommended to place a bandage with antihistaminic properties such as an Lily Dressing or Honey Dressing to the affected area.
Worms burrow under the players skin, causing a large red bump. If they are not removed they will quickly drain the players sanity and cause them to go insane.
CAUSES
The player can get Worms from sleeping on the ground, or sleeping in beds which are low to the ground.
To prevent this from happening use an elevated sleeping position like a hammock or log bed. Placing a fire near a bed will also help to reduce the risk of worms
TREATMENT
Worms can be removed by using a Bone Needle or Fish Bone.It is recommended to place an Ash Dressing or Leaf Bandage on to the wound once the Worm has been removed to prevent Infection.
A Wound infection is the result of harmful germs and bacteria entering a wound. The infected wound will be filled with yellow-green pus and the skin around the wound will become red and swollen.
CAUSES
Wound infection occurs when open wounds such as lacerations, scratches, worms and abrasions have been left untreated. Treating wounds while dirty will also cause infection.
There is a small chance for a wound that has been treated with a normal leaf bandage to turn into an infection.
TREATMENT
The player will need to inspect their body to find the location of the wound infection. When the infected wound has been located, maggots will need to placed on to the infected wound.The maggots will then eat any infected and dead flesh from the wound. This will cause a small amount of sanity loss while the dead tissue is being removed.
