Will the common cold kill me?

Recommended Posts

I can’t find any answers to this so here I am. Been regularly taking Tetra pills and sitting next to this fire but still have the cold. I hear Appvn rd that you have to disinfect your clothes too, is that true? If so I have no more disinfectant left and it would take a shit ton to disinfect everything. If you can’t die SHAREit  from the common cold I should be fine and I can deal with it later but...

If you stay warm and dry, the cold will eventually go away even without pills.  Build a fire, wring out your clothes if they're wet and stay by the fire for a while -- soon enough, cold gone.

Dont know on what server (mods) you play but what helps are vitamin pills and indeed staying by a fire.

If you're wet, like drgullen, said wring out your clothes but also take them all off and lay Them next to (not into) the fire. They Will be dry in no time.

The cold won't kill you, unless the constant sniffling drives you nuts so you'd rather F11 and start over than go on...

It does increase the rate at which hydration goes down, which is usually not a big factor anyway. Like the above posters said it goes away with time if you stay hydrated, fed and warm. Vitamins and tetra will cure it faster.
