Increase chance of infection through zombie hits.

I searched and couldn't see this suggestion.

Suggestion:

Increase chance of getting infected from getting hit by zombies.

With this, only a slight increase in spawn of antibiotics. Perhaps appear at the airfields, Stary Sobor medical tents, firehouses and/or perhaps a very low chance in higher yield residential buildings (people have medical cabinets).

Story:

For the first time in playing this game I got sick, infected. It was great. It gave me and my friend something to do. We were at the mid tier loot stages were where thinking, “I guess we go to the airfields.” We got a bit reckless in a small town (sorry for got which one) and I got hit by a zombie and found I was infected. Luckily were both stocked on blood bags so it wasn’t a HUGE issue but we had to run quite a distance back to Cherno to loot the hospitals, where we found, no antibiotic, but more blood bags so I could keep from fainting. It was a bit of a chain transfuses but it was fun. We logged out as it was 2am. On next log in we got hacked so we never cured me. But it was some of the most fun I have had playing this game; hoping to see that little box spawn in the hospitals and gave us more to do than “I guess we just loot the air fields now”

Misc:

This may also make zombies more difficult as this is something I see people talk about on these forums.

Please tell me why you think this is a bad/ good idea or any tweaks you may have. I would like to hear people’s thoughts.

Smart.

But would you eventually turn Into a zombie and 'die' if you don't get antibiotics in time?

but zombies are already difficult, you seem to like the undead mod's infected. they infected you in 1 bite or punch and you would have to run and find the cure :3

Infection is definitely an interesting mechanic but because the antibiotics are so extremely rare and the infection is contagious (according to day z wiki) it's often better to put your friend out of his misery. I've only come across antibiotics twice in my entire amount of playing.
