Experimental 1.26 and diseases: did I miss something?

Recommended Posts

I reread all the changes of the experimental version 1.26, maybe I missed something or I didn't understand it from Google translations, but...
It happened to me, 2 times in a row in a short time, to vomit and get the disease symbol for no apparent reason... as if I had drunk dirty water or eaten raw meat, but I am well dressed and equipped... I only get water from fountains and, rarely, from the pond, but only if I have the water purification tablet or if I have a pot and I cook fish. It's been months (a lot), now that I no longer cook meat, but only fish... and I only eat it cooked (I've already seen that vitamin pills don't go very well with raw meat anymore). Otherwise only closed (and healthy... NOT "unknown") cans of industrial meat that I find around.
I've never had any problem like that.
I also tried a few times (in the standard 1.25) to make the swamp water drinkable by boiling it for a few minutes: and it worked.
Now I wonder...
*) Is it a "new feature" to get a disease for no apparent reason?
*) Is it an unforeseen "bug"?
*) Is it an effect of something I didn't quite understand? (I read that animals can infect the grass as they pass... and someone can get sick? By vomiting and blurring their vision?).

With 2x vitamin pills it goes away...

Never happened before.
Does anyone know anything about it?

Hi,

I get constantly disease without any reason (I posted some complaint about it recently) even in 1.25.

Often I can't get out with the sickness even with antibiotics, vitamines, charcoal tablets, and so on...

In my opinion the actual sickness system is to rework, at least about the disease rising mechanism, and should be good to have some clue about the sickness type (IRL I know when I'm down for a headache or for a stomachache, or for a flu, so I can choose the best cure to get out of it).

At the moment I have no idea about this subject.

had the same experiences on the experimental build on xbox 

combined with the water shortage it would make getting sick a death sentence without meds, but all meds were looted because everybody spawns together and gets sick 

shits totally fucked
