Surviving the harsh environment of PlayZ requires not only skill and strategy, but also an in-depth understanding of the various diseases that can threaten your well-being. This guide will help you recognize how diseases are contracted, with a special emphasis on Sepsis, their effects, and how to manage them effectively to ensure your continued survival on PlayZ.

Focus on Sepsis

What is Sepsis?

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when your body's response to an infection causes damage to its own tissues and organs. In PlayZ, sepsis can rapidly deteriorate your health, making it one of the most critical conditions to manage effectively.

How to Contract Sepsis

Understanding how sepsis can be contracted is vital for prevention:

1. Infected Wounds
   • Improper Wound Treatment: Applying bandages with dirty hands or non-disinfected gloves significantly increases the risk of introducing bacteria into your wounds. There's a notable chance—roughly a quarter of the time—that this can lead to sepsis.
   • Failed Surgeries: Performing surgical procedures with unclean hands or equipment carries a very high risk of causing sepsis. Always ensure you have the necessary skills and sterilized tools before attempting surgery.
2. Environmental Exposure
   • Bear Traps: Injuries from bear traps have a substantial risk of leading to infections and sepsis if not treated properly.
   • Barbed Wire: While less common, injuries from barbed wire can result in sepsis, although the risk is relatively low.
3. Dirty Bandages and Sutures
   • Bandage Degradation: Over time, clean bandages can become dirty if left on wounds for too long, increasing the risk of infection.
   • Sutures: Using sutures to close wounds can also lead to sepsis if the sutures become dirty or if they were applied with non-disinfected tools.

Effects of Sepsis

Sepsis progresses through stages and can have severe impacts on your character:

• Initial Symptoms: Mild pain and discomfort may occur as the infection begins to take hold.
• Progression: If untreated, symptoms can escalate to high fever, severe pain, and rapid health decline.
• Critical Condition: Advanced sepsis leads to continuous health and blood loss, potentially resulting in unconsciousness or death if not addressed promptly.

Preventing Sepsis

Preventing sepsis involves diligent care and hygiene practices:

• Maintain Hygiene
  • Clean Hands and Equipment: Always disinfect your hands, gloves, and medical tools before treating any wounds or performing surgery.
• Proper Wound Care
  • Use Sterile Bandages: Apply clean, sterile bandages to wounds and replace them regularly to prevent them from becoming dirty over time.
  • Monitor Bandages and Sutures: Keep track of the condition of bandages and sutures, replacing them before they become a source of infection.
