Predator meat disease

[Stalker z Czarnobyla 23]

As we've seen with devs trying to stop wolves and bears becoming a food delivery service for geared players by making the meat tainted with salmonella-like disease, I think there should be a bit more punishment for eating predator meat.

Maybe even devs took note of this disease, on which they're trying to base it on: trichinella.

EXPOSURE
By eating predator meat AND sometimes boar (10-25% of all boars will have it) meat you'll get permament symptoms (non-curable by immunity) until you find specific anti-trichinella medicine, such as:

1) Vomiting in the 1st stage

2) Additionally decreased stamina regen, decreased field of view and decreased possible stomach intake in the 2nd stage

To make things more interesting: if a cannibal will try to eat infected human, he'll also get trichinella in order for such playstyle to be something more than kuru.

PREVENTION

Predator meat is unpurgeable from trichinella, however infected boar meat will be safe ONLY when boiled for a LONG time or burnt.

I'd like a more realistic approach yes.

I don't agree that predator meat should be inedible only because it is "too easy", unless that would be realistic.

Realistic predator parasites and such would be really cool.

I never even bothered with eating predators before, it really doesn't make the game any easier.

Because bears are extremely rare and wolves give such little meat already, it's not worth the time to cook.

There is unlimited, guaranteed, easy to access, stealthily acquirable and cookable fish everywhere.
