Sickness, Illness, and Infections

[Shad0w_Phant0m 3]

I have a few ideas (someone else might of already posted it I'm not sure)

Here they are:

Rabies (hydrophobia): is quite uncommon in wild-life the only way to have a chance to cure it is hot metal (some metals are poisonous so don't use lead and other metals like that) the hot metal must be pressed against the wound (in-game it'd do quite a bit of damage like five hearts (10 health), It won't always work so if it didn't work like in real hydrophobia you get sick looking at water (water being some 10 blocks away will cause you damage) and you'd eventually die,

Leech: a Leech is what a doctor used to be called since they used leeches(more on that later), and herbal remedies from plants and such (some plants are hazardous or even deadly to people).

Leeches (the bug): leeches found in some swamps and tropical biomes love water (and your blood), now in-game uses and cons, starting with uses the leeches will suck out some negative potion effect and sometimes and sickness or illness but it takes time for that to happen.

Infections: Rabies(hydrophobia read above), maybe food poisoning?(raw pork?)

If you have ideas post them.

-.-

lurk moar, this topic has been discussed to death, and then turned into a zombie so we could talk about it more, then we removed the head and destroyed the brain, and thought we were done with it. But, apparently you managed to re-attach the head and find a new brain...

anyways,

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

1) The search bar is right up at the top-right. Next time you're about to post a topic, use that first.

2) Golly gee, doctors used to use leeches? Some plants are poisonous? Tell me another story grandpa!

I mean, it's not like any of us have made it past 5th grade or anything (you know, the place where they teach you about this exact shit)...

3) What are you smoking, and why haven't you shared it yet. The primary symptom of rabies is NOT hydrophobia, it's viral encephalitis - and the 'hot metal' thing only works immediately after infection, because you're literally searing away the virus before you can be properly infected. Waiting even 30 seconds is a guaranteed death sentence unless you get IV interferon and rabies immunoglobulin injections.

A tad harsh, don't you think, EU? Anyways, this has been suggested a lot, there are many posts you can read about what's already been discussed, just skim through the suggestions a bit.

while things like this are realistic, I can't imagine a game like this would be very popular.

some day, you may learn that when Dunk says "No!" he really means it... just a friendly tip

I guess you could look at this as hope in face of insurmountable odds, or just plain stubbornness. Flix is right, a no from dunk is usually final, unless Bioxx comes in here and overrules him, but it seems like Bioxx likes less stuff than Dunk

lol yeah, maybe if this were a hyper-realistic survival sim

but its not, we're working with a world made of flipping cubes here!
