hoopman130 6 Posted February 17, 2014 So about 5 minutes ago i ran into a bandit at elektro (I'm a fresh spawn). He then proceeds to shoot me knock me out. Then talks to me and bandages me up, gives me a saline bag, and handcuffs me. Him and his friend were very pleasant considering the circumstances, and as they were leaving the guys friend poisons me with that clear bottle of rubbing alcohol (i think?). I ran to the hospital and found 2 things of charcoal tabs, one 25% (damaged) and one 68% (damaged). I consumed all of them and my character is still deemed sick. Is there anything i can do or will my character just die a slow drawn out death? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leefriendfield 438 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Charcole tablets take you to the last stage of sickness, from here you will no longer lose blood and your character will begin healing.Make sure you eat and drink a lot to the point where your character is ENERGIZED and HYDRATED (Use pumps for water). You will begin healing and blood will return and you will be good to go! Edited February 17, 2014 by LeeFriendField 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leefriendfield 438 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) so now i just have to ride out the gray screen and all the other symptoms of the illness?No, you can fight it by keeping your character ENERGIZED and HYDRATED, this will put your character at the Healing State and soon within 20 minutes to an hour of having E and H you should be near full blood. You can become ENERGIZED from eating an entire bag of rice. Edited February 17, 2014 by LeeFriendField Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishGuts4Lunch 66 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) If you eat as much as you can and drink water every chance you get you will eventually get past the "Hyadrated-Stuffed" to the "healthy" stage where your character will heal in just a few minutes.

Window Licker 504 Posted February 17, 2014 so now i just have to ride out the gray screen and all the other symptoms of the illness?Yep, the grey screen would be from blood loss most likely so eat lot's and drinks lot's and your color should return, but the sick indicator will disappear with time.

dethsupport 110 Posted February 17, 2014 Both staying healthy along with consuming charcoal tabs, and drinking so much water that you vomit are effective solutions. If you simply don't have enough food on you or nearby and too much time has passed head to the water pump and chug till you puke. Just like in real life, if you have to ingest a poisonous substance the immediate response is to induce vomiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vomiting will only make you hungrier and thirstier inevitably making your quest for being healthy even harder VOMITING DOES NOT CURE SICKNESS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jubeidok 495 Posted February 17, 2014 Cool. I'm just still wondering though, how do you un-starve yourself? I also haven't figured out how to un-break my leg yet, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure you use rags to turn the sticks into splints. Edited February 17, 2014 by LeeFriendField Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vomiting will only make you hungrier and thirstier inevitably making your quest for being healthy even harder VOMITING DOES NOT CURE SICKNESS. I think it depends on your sickness. Food poisoning can be reversed by vomiting I believe, but yes, after vomiting you need to get back to energized and hydrated or you basically shot yourself in the foot.
