Medical Guide: Food Poisoning in DayZ

Food Poisoning is a bacterial infection of the stomach that results from consuming toxic, rotten, or chemically contaminated food and liquids. It induces heavy vomiting, stripping your survivor of vital nutrients very quickly.

To prevent poisoning, inspect food carefully: rotten fruit, burnt meat, and items of questionable status should never be eaten. Additionally, do not drink unknown fluids from gasoline canisters.

If you have contracted food poisoning, taking Charcoal Tablets is the definitive cure. Hydrate and feed yourself in extremely small portions (one or two bites at a time) to keep your stats stable until the medicine cures the infection.
