Medical Guide: Wound Infection in DayZ
Wound Infection is a silent killer in DayZ. It occurs when wounds are treated with dirty materials or left untreated. It has two stages: Stage 1 (lasts 20 mins, mild symptoms) and Stage 2 (severe fever, rapid health decay, and death).
Prevention is extremely simple: always inspect your medical supplies and ensure rags, sewing kits, or bandages are *Disinfected* before applying them to open cuts.
If you are in Stage 1, you can cure it by disinfecting the wound directly using Iodine, Alcoholic Tint, or Disinfectant Spray. If you have progressed to Stage 2, topical disinfectants will no longer work; you must take Tetracycline Pills to combat the systemic infection.
