Diseases & Cures

Parasites, poisonings, wounds and their definitive cure methods.

Venom Wound

Causes:

Snake, Brazilian Wandering Spider or Scorpion bite. Usually encountered in tall grass or tree trunks.

Symptoms:

Blurred vision, severe fever, rapid dehydration, and loss of health over seconds.

Cure Method:

Apply Tobacco Dressing immediately. Rest in a safe place, drink plenty of water and bone broth until venom is flushed out.

Laceration

Causes:

Jaguar or Puma attacks, falling from high cliffs, or triggering traps.

Symptoms:

Constant groaning sounds, unstoppable bleeding, and sudden health drop.

Cure Method:

Wrap with Ash Dressing or Honey Dressing to close the open wound ASAP. Otherwise, it will turn into an infection.

Infection

Causes:

Failing to bandage an open cut or worm hole, exposing it to mud or dirty water, causing inflammation.

Symptoms:

Fever begins, health drops rapidly. A greenish-yellow pus is observed on the wound.

Cure Method:

First place Maggots inside the wound to eat the dead tissue and pus. Then cover the cleaned wound with a clean Ash or Honey bandage.

Worm under the skin

Causes:

Sleeping directly on wet mud or the jungle floor (dirt) without a proper bed.

Symptoms:

A festering hole with movement on arm or leg. Causes incredibly fast sanity loss. Psychological breakdown begins.

Cure Method:

Craft a bone needle by harvesting a bone. Pierce the worm in the wound to pull it out. Then cover the resulting hole with an Ash or Leaf bandage.

Parasites

Causes:

Drinking unboiled puddle water or eating raw meat. Also, eating any food with dirty (muddy) hands directly causes parasites.

Symptoms:

Macronutrients drain rapidly. Even if you eat abundantly, the character suffers from insatiable hunger.

Cure Method:

Cure it by eating Cup Mushrooms, Blue Mushrooms, or the Guanabana (Soursop) fruit.

Food Poisoning

Causes:

Eating spoiled food, touching poisonous frogs, or trying the wrong mushrooms.

Symptoms:

Character complains of nausea and vomits. Vomiting causes a massive loss of hydration and calories.

Cure Method:

Eat Charcoal from a campfire or consume Water Lily flowers floating on ponds to settle your stomach. Drink plenty of safe water.

Leeches

Causes:

Walking in the jungle, especially in muddy areas or near water.

Symptoms:

Health drains very slowly and sanity drops. Visible black leeches attached to the body.

Cure Method:

Enter body inspect mode and drag the leeches off one by one. No bandages required.

Insanity

Causes:

Eating raw meat, drinking dirty water, having worms/leeches, lack of sleep, or being chased by natives.

Symptoms:

Character starts talking to themselves, hears whispers, and hallucinatory natives begin to attack.

Cure Method:

Rest by the fire, eat cooked nutritious meals, sleep, and remove all parasites/leeches from the body.

Rash

Causes:

Accidentally hitting or standing too close to ant hills or bee hives.

Cure Method:

Use a Lily Dressing or wait a few hours; it will heal on its own.

Fever

Causes:

Venomous bites, infected wounds, or certain spoiled foods.

Body temperature rises, extreme thirst, and the character gets exhausted quickly.

Cure Method:

Drink plenty of water and rest. Consuming Bone Soup or Quassia Amara flowers helps lower fever quickly.

Dirt

Causes:

Rolling in mud, crossing rivers, or not washing for a long time.

Symptoms:
