Introduction to illnesses
As you try to survive you may contract an illness, either from getting too cold while out in the open, bandaging yourself using something that hasn't been disinfected, performing a blood transfusion in location that was not sterile, by being hit by a zombie or contracting an illness from other players.
You may not become aware that you have fallen ill straight away, usually it takes a while for all the symptoms to fully appear and effect you, but you may begin to notice your player coughing or moaning in pain which are the first telltale signs that you have contracted some kind of illness. Lets have a look at the types of illnesses in the game, their symptoms and how to cure them.
Diagnosing what illness you have
Learning the symptoms of each illness will allow you to make a basic diagnosis, however the best way to reliably tell if you have contracted any illnesses and which ones is to use a single use tester or multi use tester. (Note that the multi use tester can only be used by level 3 medics).
Infection of the blood
Symptoms
Blood infections are very common and easy to contract if you do not use adequate protection and antiseptics when treating wounds or performing blood transfusions.
The symptoms of a blood infection are:
- Greying of the screen / bad visibility (Early Stages)
- Loosing consciousness randomly (Intermediate Stage)
- Loss of blood and eventual death (Advanced Stage)
Curing this illness
The only way you can cure infections of the blood is by crafting blood bags with antibiotics and using them to give yourself or others a blood transfusion, or using ones that other players have crafted if you cannot craft your own.

| Remember to perform blood transfusions inside hospitals which are sterile places to avoid contracting blood infections. |
