Charlotte (DayZ) 6 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) I'd suggest waiting, and if it doesn't go away, put your gear somewhere safe and respawn. I always check hospitals when I'm near a city, but I've never found any.I've been "infected" twice.The first time I was on a boat without heatpacks for a really long time. Between that and fumbling around in the water to refuel it, I got down to 29*. I was coughing and losing health. After getting heated up, I was still coughing, but after a couple hours of game play, the cough just disappeared. I was able to get to 12000 health again, and everything seemed normal.Weeks passed, multiple deaths, etc.The second time, I have no idea how I got it (42*, running around looking for heli crash sites with no luck, no other players/zombies near). I waited for a while, but it didn't go away. So I just put everything in the car and respawned.Good luck. Edited July 24, 2012 by Charlotte 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted July 24, 2012 There is a chance to become infected if a Z hits you while bleeding, no matter your temp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joemiken 16 Posted July 24, 2012 I've never been infected, but I've found antibiotics several times. Check the army tents at Cherno. I found 2x in one of the medical tents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefonztm@gmail.com 86 Posted July 24, 2012 Why does everyone think antibiotics are rare? Sure, uncommon, but I tend to find them on about 1/3 to 1/4 of my hospital/medtent visits. I even got 3 in one trip. Admittedly I tend to play lower pop servers. They are less juicy targets for hackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
