Yes TahoeBeast very sound advise that I also follow since the sneezing / coughing drama. Few points to mention moving forward for anyone in the same situation: * Medical supplies are key - Vitamins, Fresh Fruit, Disinfectant Spray, Alcohol tincture * No item under ANY circumstances now is eaten / drank with out disinfecting first. * ALL food is now cooked before eating, then dried, and all water purified with chlorine tablets. * Gas mask is on 100% of the time under no circumstances is it taken off, with charcoal installed * Nothing is picked up from zombies at all to eliminate risk - team-mates pick on my behalf, then dis-infect before it goes into my inventory. * No drinking water from wells direct, always fill, purify, and sanitise - never from your hands. * When you load / finish - Drink water until 3 bars, then fresh fruit until 3 bars. 3 vitamin tablets, followed by more fresh fruit after it drops the 3 bars the first time.

Hi all, Just following up - I'm now cured. Slightly better result than originally planned, full health stats, no cough cough, sneeze, cough, sneeze, cough cough. I will say that I tried it on a team-mate and DID NOT work - but this was 100% because he can't follow instructions. (he felt jumping to his death was more feesable) Cold...cleared.

So, quick update. 20+ game play hours now with stats never dropping and still sick. I've put a plan together to hopefully find a work around this issues - however I was notified of a post via the Dayz Xbox Facebook group that some DID cure it in game. Apparently, a quilted jacket - constant hydration, fruit, combined with rest and warmth of a fire ( not around any zombies and infected players ) for 1.5 - 2 days will cure it. Needless to say, something to bare in mind for the future - and will game clip and share with you all if I end up cured with all my gear still.

Well, that's exactly the situation I had previously AND am currently in. Running around, hoarding fruit, and drinking canteens from wells that have been purified. I mean if i could get an understanding, an idea of what to expect here it may spare suicide. I've 2 possible strategies left to save him, and will update here for reference if it works out.

So to clarify - in principle it can be cured as you said above... But i'm on Xbox here, and I've not seen any beds or Honey

Well, thanks first of all for confirming it is an issue....because it is. 8 hours to cure it sadly went a long time ago, as you also probably also know.

Have you confirmed this since the update?

Afternoon all, New to DayZ, had some pretty memorable deaths already - but another battle is here!! The main issue i have is me, and our band of merry men have been constantly coughing and sneezing for over 15+ hours now. Despite the obvious treatment - were all a little worried its bugged as nothing is registering and still constantly sick The weather has now changed to a tropical storm, and would very much like someone " in the know " to fill in WTF is going on here.

Hello, Can you please advise if there is a current issue regarding being sick and constant sneezing and coughing? Despite all 4 of us having a pick and mix of medicine over 10+ hours now there is no change whatsoever to any of our condition. Temperature reads at 39.6, but is constantly sick despite counteracting with the correct meds
