Venom Wound

Venom Wound from a Rattlesnake

Basic Info

Venom wound is an injury caused by a bite or sting from a venomous animal or plant. The wound will have one or two puncture marks and the skin around the wound will be red and swollen.

When a venom wound is inflicted the poison icon may be displayed, showing the level of venom received. Currently, as late as V.2.4.3, the South American Rattlesnake does not always inflict a poison status, particularly if you already have a rash. A venom wound will cause the player to lose health and stamina over time. The player will usually also contract a Fever which will need to be treated separately from the venom wound.

Causes

Various animal stings or bites can cause a venom wound.

• Brazilian Wandering Spider
• Goliath Birdeater Spider
• Poison Dart Frog
• River Stingray
• Scorpion
• South American Rattlesnake
• Spike Tree
• Centipede

Treatment

For small amounts of venom the players body will naturally fight off the venom slowly over time. However larger doses of venom will rapidly affect the players health and can result in death if left untreated.

Venom wounds can be treated in several ways including:

• Painkillers
• Plantain Lily Leaf (can be eaten raw or brewed)
• Lily Dressing
• Tobacco Dressing
• Tobacco Brew
