Sons Of The Forest – How To Cure Sickness
The 1.0 update in Sons of the Forest added a new sickness system that adds another layer of survivability to the game. Now, you can become sick and, if not treated, die as a result. To stop yourself from dying of sickness, learn how it works and how to cure it in Sons of the Forest in the guide below.
How sickness works in Sons of the Forest
Essentially, the new sickness system prohibits your ability to drink murky water and eat spoiled food in Sons of the Forest. Prior to the 1.0 update, you could eat or drink whatever you could get your hands on to keep your Thirst and Hunger bars full. Now, you have to pick and choose what you consume if you don’t want to get sick and start losing health.
If you do happen to get sick in Sons of the Forest, a new debuff icon will appear on your screen and your character’s max HP will be reduced substantially. Obviously, that’s something you want to avoid in Sons of the Forest, as you’d be extremely susceptible to enemy attacks and likely perish if you got into a combat situation with a monster.
