@4:30 Additional tip: When you find water containers, assume they are not clean. Empty them out and fill them up from a clean water source or treat them with Chlorine first. Almost always, if you drink the remaining water in a container you have found it will make you sick.

Great video! I discovered that if I don’t have vitamins but eat enough green peppers, that will help fight off illness. In the pepper’s description it talks about the veggie containing vitamins (I never bothered to read this.) I came across this when my illness miraculously disappeared. I had not taken any vitamins but was just eating a bunch of peppers I had found. Gotta love DayZ.
Few points. 1st, vitamins are actually fairly rare. 2nd, a common cold is lethal in Daisy which is absolutely insane. Lastly, that isn't how you get a cold. An old wivestail will literally kill you in Daisy.
Yea and then don’t you just love that they expect you to have this shit and if you don’t you supposed to get it in between passing out every 20 secs like that’s some bs ?
@@patricksmith8171 i actually thought it was fun and pretty cool that there’s sickness and the players have to worry about it, if there wasn’t little inconveniences like these the game would just be a run, loot, shoot cycle
Yessssss With food poisoning, ( I ate with bloody hands) I noticed that to prevent from throwing up wile eating or drinking , only take 3 bites(sounds of munching) & 3 sips of water Happy to see you also mentioned this as well. Best informational video about health & sickness I ever seen 10/10
One great was is to eat literally everything safe until your food and water can't go up anymore if you keep that maintained it's kinda like a immune system if you just keep your food and water full it's really hard to get sick I've eater raw deer guts while full food and water and it didn't do anything
3:48 Great tip bro. You're the only Pro-tipper I know that has brought this up and it's invaluable info. If you do it consistently for long enough it will boost your immune system and eventually cure you too. Can't count how many lives I've kept going by doing this 👍

Me again. I have a remedy for sickness from dirty water and raw meat... I was on the dirt roads in a woodsy part of the map. Had no water and it quickly became priority. The lone houses here and there weren't giving any drink and i couldnt go further down the road to the next house without dying. I had a ton of gear so i had to drink from a pond. My food was full. My health lost a small sliver from a red flashing hydration. So i drank knowing i would get sick and i had no meds. I threw up, food down halfway. Chunk of health lost. Drank some more just to stop the hydration from flashing red. Then i layed prone then rolled onto my back. Laying prone on your back stops the vomit animation from starting(emote won't work) and being still stopped the loss of calories and hydration. I layed next to the pond motionless for an hour before the sickness naturally left me and i survived. (edit) laying prone on your back no longer prevents vomiting. I guess they fixed it. Which i think they should have left it alone because people in real life will lay down when they are sick so i never viewed its as an exploit.
Great info. Nearly uninstalled a while back and chalked DayZ up to a dying from starvation and illness simulator. I still may. The player to rage quitter ratio for this game has got to be record shattering!
It's frustrating, but this, to me, is what a survival game should be. Hardcore, brutal experiences that make you have to adapt and improvise to get by. Too many survival games hold your hand and tell you how to do EVERYTHING and they feel way too easy. Dayz has the survival category nailed down imo.
@@bwad99 Dying from catching a cold is somewhat of cop out for the game designers. This game is definitely detailed from a survival standpoint but the game developers do us no favors by not explaining any of it. How about a map or at least put the signs in english...lol. No saves.
@@patricksmith8171 you won't die from catching a cold. If you do, you're doing something very wrong. There are maps you can find as lootable items and maps you can find on little hiking billboards, as well as a GPS tracker and compasses.

Man, I had a great 4 hour run last night. Got super geared up at the airbase. But noticed I was sick the entire time. After eventually dying I came to realize I cut up a shirt and used it as rags. And it gave me an infection :(
@@bwad99 mannn, I just got the game 2 days ago. Didn't even know how in depth it got. I slid down a ladder without gloves on once and bled to death hahaha
@@shanehubbard649 🤣🤣🤣 it's a learning curve dude. There's a lot to learn. I did make a beginners guide that might help you out! Either way, you'll get the hang of it. DayZ is a lot of trial and error
I absolutely hate that bs mechanic that your clothes have "virtual germs" on them and I also came to this co clusion just from playing. You can be warm, dry, full hunger and hydration, have only ingested clean food/drink, not have been cut at all and somehow still get sick. It's like a slap in the face for trying so hard to stay healthy just to have your run come to an end because of some rng illness and clinics almost never spawn tetra. I can't believe that, after all the updates, this is still in the game. It really kills it for me.
Pretty sure the virtual germs idea is a myth. If you get sick early in your life, your immune system gets screwed and you have to work hard to build it up. Has nothing to do with your clothing from my experience. I've gotten sick, filled my vitals and built a healthy immune system again wearing the same outfit and stopped getting sick eventually. Don't need medicine. The sickness is not random. There's a system to it-- just most players don't quite understand it.
Good video subbed, clothing doesn't reinfect you, the reason people get sick again after curing illness is due to immunity level dropping below sickness immunity threshold, immunity is primarily based on the amount of food, water and blood. Vitamins temporally increase immunity to 100% for 5 minutes temporarily curing some illnesses, you need to increase food and water above immunity threshold for lasting cures and immunity (just fill up on food and water until alternating up/down arrows above & below the icons). Tip: infected or players attacking you can damage bandages/rags removing their disinfected state, you must re-disinfect before use or you risk wound infection.
Okay so this is amazing I’m very new to day z been struggling very badly with sickness the last few days but now you’ve saved all my gear thank you so much side note I did not know about the water bottles being able to be poured out
@2:12 Reinfection: This comes from having any head gear that will contain residual bacteria. You do not need to swap out all of your clothes, just head gear.
Keep it up m8 👍 subbed. Lookin forward to gameplay too. You can only make so many guides after a while obviously but there’s still a whole lot of tips to cover in DayZ if you decide to keep making these as well and I’ll be tuned in for all ur new vids 👀🙇♂️
I wonder how long you can stay in light blue before getting sick. I may have been using infected bandages... I think you can get away with using gloves over bloody hands to eat, but you have to be careful not to let the gloves get ruined. I was amazed when I found I could combine tinctures to fill up, only have one bottle.
Infected wounds are extremely easy to avoid or cure. All you need is some sort of disinfectant to clean rags/the wound or a bandage roll and you're set.
I just died for the very first time to sickness. I was getting really lucky with gear - found a gps, silenced 22, pump action and IJ-70 w loads of ammo, and on and on... then i found multivitamins. I took one not knowing what they did, and like 15 minutes later i got sick with something and my guy started grunting. I also got into a skirmish with a few infected but i didnt realize that you can die to sickness after using a pristine bandage, so at first i thought the multivitamins killed me lol
Some servers seem worse than others and I never eat canned food unless it's "pristine" (unless I'm starving to death) or I seem to get sick. The ONLY food I eat is meat I killed or fish I caught and after cooked I have NEVER got sick. The easiest and best food source to me is fishing. You just need a rope, long stick and a hook and you have unlimited food supply. Kill a chicken and take the meat, make a few hooks from the bones (they do degrade) and a couple ropes from the guts and you got food for days. AND if you cook it instead of letting it smoke (dried meat) you will get some water from it when you eat it where if it's smoked you only get food ++
I was thinking about this the other day. I’m about 1k hours into Dayz and at some point, I just stopped getting sick. I always carry meds, but can’t remember the last time I used them.
What diseas is the one you grunt every now and then and your rate stamina regeneration drops over time where it goes literaly just few milimeters by one second
Question: can Chest Gear like vests and the plate carrier get infected with the Cold /influenza? I contracted a cold out of no where so I removed my gloves, tactical Helmut and bandana. After that I immediately took a multi vitamin and the sickness went a away.. But after a few minutes it would come back.. So I was wondering if it could've been the plate carrier I recently took from a zombie?
Gas zones. Permanent gas zone large ship to the west. Random gas bombs in certain towns/military areas. Death by a thousand cuts plus vomiting blood. Where can u find antidotes or gas mask plus full nbc suit?
That's true. But it might be a better idea to save disinfectant for cleaning rags or saving yourself from an infection wound! Water is more available🤠 appreciate it dude!
I caught the common cold today. I had a full pack of tetracycline which i took, but the cold came right back even though my temp, food, hydration were in the white. I made a fire and got the heat buff, but as soon as i stepped away from the fire, got hit with a cold again. Which articles of clothing need to be changed out? I also have disinfectant and alcohol tincture but none of my cloths will give me the disinfect action. All my cloths are medium or better insulation and are all atleast worn condition. I even emptied my canteen and refilled it when the sickness icon went away. Took a multivitamin also, still got sick. HALP!!!
Question? Sometimes I do everything right dress good eat fruit or sardines/tuna in a can cook all meat and I drink from a bottle from a well only. But out of the blue for no reason while walking I get the sick symbol and then the vision and a quick grunt starts pulsating? Another time after fighting off 10 zombies my food water was fine my plus was still in the high yellow all of a sudden got sick and didn't matter how much pills I took and food kept vomiting alot and died! What can I do???
Loved the video a bunch of great tips and tricks to do I didn’t know some of those since I started last week but idk how but every time I spawn after death which has happened a bunch of times due to the Same Illness I get this thing that I haven’t eaten any raw meat or drunken any dirty water but I can’t eat or drink cuz of vomiting just like the bloody hand/ poisoning
Raw meat, bad water, bloody hands can all cause those symptoms. I also think overeating can make you sick and cause this. I don't know it as a fact/corr part of the game, but it's happened to me personally a few times now. I would over eat to the point where I threw up by accident, and then later on got sick and I had no idea why.
@@bwad99 thanks a lot for replying I’ll try to look into it aswell and try out all the possibilities but I know for a fact I’ve not eaten raw meat, or eaten with bloody hands or dirty water but I have drunk water that I’ve found from bottles but I’ll stop that now that I know it’s bad and again thanks for replying you’ve got a Subscriber 👍🏻
@@rahand2160 ahhh yeah the water in bottles when you find them isn't usually safe to drink. I always pour it out and fill it at a well! That'll do it dude. Appreciate the support💙🤠
I dont have proof. But the last few months. ive been feeding my character mostly fruits and vegetables. My character hasnt been getting cold sick like before when i would eat large amount of canned foods and meats. I caught a cold from another player and was sick for less than 5 minutes without any meds. Literally coughed once and that was all. I credit the fruit and veggie diet but like i said i cant prove thats why i havent been catching colds in the game. Id like others to test this.
I've heard about this lately. I've heard that some of the fruits or veggies say in their in game descriptions that they have natural vitamins in them, meaning they'd boost your immunity. This could be why!
I made a couple of mistakes. I ate some burnt chicken and I forgot to wash my hands too. I've been playing for few hours now and have taken pills but have been sick for many days. I haven't found the multivitamins yet tho. I'm drinking nice clean water. My stamina is not great and my character keeps making a pain noise. The only thing I don't have is the multivitamins. Will that do the job do you think?
Not sure if this is %100 correct but eating Unknown Food Can has a chance or giving you food poisoning aswell. It's happened to me a couple of time but it may have been developed from something else
How to stop getting sick - my first task is always to max out my food and water. After that I can drink any water, eat with bloody hands, eat raw meat, eat gut's, don't get sick etc...
I found a new and fun way to get sick…I tried to make rope from a pig intestine, but forgot to put my knife in my hand…before I knew it, my guy had taken one big bite. I spent the next 2.5 hours looking for meds, sipping and nibbling and finally got well.
You can wash your hands with any type of water and yes I know you can with a bottle/canteen/pot. Also with disinfectant spray/iodine/alcohol tincture etc.
What kind of sickness do you get from unidentified water sources (aka. Found bottles) and how can you cure the sickness from them? I got fever, high tremperature, idk how to cure that
Treat it like food poisoning. You need to either take charcoal tabs or take little nibbles of food/water until you're full and wait until your immune system fights it off. Also can take vitamins to help.
my cold just won't go away...... I can't find meds on account of i'm wandering alongside a creek in the middle of no where, and I've tried sitting by a fire for a long while and I'm still sick, what do I do?
Just eat and drink till your symbols goes from half way to full. You will never get sick. Until then, avoid exposing to the cold because you will get sick often.
In the last part is not clear: one can actually treat in early stages a already bandaged wound that is infected? With disinfectant/iodine tincture? I did not know this, just put in your hands the items just mentioned and you can still disnfect a wound that was arrested without disibfected bandages??
I want 2 kno y after taking helmet, mask, and gloves off, and taking 4 tetra, sitting by a fire, and keeping all my stats white, I stopped coughing and only have a fever and sneezing. Shits so stupid
I got sick, made it to a hospital and used tetra but I stayed sick. Because I couldn't heal myself I later overdosed on purpose because I couldn't run anymore and was about to die anyway. I gave my character a painless death with 8 morphine injectors.
This is a decent video thank you. I need help with building. Any chance for a newbie build guide through to pro would be great. I've realised how to attach metal and barbed wire, only been playing 2 years 🤔

I could be wrong but I feel like I’ve noticed drinking water after taking tetracycline and vitamins, seems to make the cold go quicker.
Hey this was amazing!!
Dude thank you!
Great video, funny intro and to the point.
Bookmarking this! 🧡
Appreciate you Gem🤠💙
This intro is sick 😂
that infected wound addition really fucks up the game playability even more. Not because the 'extra' difficulty, but lack of medicine spawns.
Infected wounds are extremely easy to avoid or cure. All you need is some sort of disinfectant to clean rags/the wound or a bandage roll and you're set.
I just died for the very first time to sickness. I was getting really lucky with gear - found a gps, silenced 22, pump action and IJ-70 w loads of ammo, and on and on... then i found multivitamins. I took one not knowing what they did, and like 15 minutes later i got sick with something and my guy started grunting. I also got into a skirmish with a few infected but i didnt realize that you can die to sickness after using a pristine bandage, so at first i thought the multivitamins killed me lol
idk if yall know this but you can clean your bloody hands with a water bottle or canteen on the go if you cant get near a water source
love your videos been my carry since i started playinmg
Some servers seem worse than others and I never eat canned food unless it's "pristine" (unless I'm starving to death) or I seem to get sick. The ONLY food I eat is meat I killed or fish I caught and after cooked I have NEVER got sick. The easiest and best food source to me is fishing. You just need a rope, long stick and a hook and you have unlimited food supply. Kill a chicken and take the meat, make a few hooks from the bones (they do degrade) and a couple ropes from the guts and you got food for days. AND if you cook it instead of letting it smoke (dried meat) you will get some water from it when you eat it where if it's smoked you only get food ++
I was thinking about this the other day. I’m about 1k hours into Dayz and at some point, I just stopped getting sick. I always carry meds, but can’t remember the last time I used them.
Vitamins actually cure the sickness too. When I have used them straight away after being sick they have anyway.
If you develop a cough, codeine pills are important as they are a cough suppressant. A cough is annoying and attracts zombies.
True! Can also gag yourself to suppress the sounds.
@@bwad99 lol, what do you need for that? An apple and rope? 🤣🤣
@@noneofmybusiness9895 LMAO. Just a rag🤣😏
I haven't noticed that cough attracts zombies.
What diseas is the one you grunt every now and then and your rate stamina regeneration drops over time where it goes literaly just few milimeters by one second
Can't believe I died to a common cold when I was equipped to survive for days
Question: can Chest Gear like vests and the plate carrier get infected with the Cold /influenza? I contracted a cold out of no where so I removed my gloves, tactical Helmut and bandana. After that I immediately took a multi vitamin and the sickness went a away.. But after a few minutes it would come back.. So I was wondering if it could've been the plate carrier I recently took from a zombie?
Interesting. Try to stay warm and add good level of everything else.
Gas zones. Permanent gas zone large ship to the west. Random gas bombs in certain towns/military areas. Death by a thousand cuts plus vomiting blood. Where can u find antidotes or gas mask plus full nbc suit?
Medical spawns.
Just subscribed good info for a new player
Awesome! Thanks dude. Glad to help🤠
Do you have to remove your gloves before eating or do gloves just negate the bloody hands effect?
I heard that yes gloves 'cant get dirty'
1 more tip is you can clean hands with disinfectant as well :) although the video was very informative
That's true. But it might be a better idea to save disinfectant for cleaning rags or saving yourself from an infection wound! Water is more available🤠 appreciate it dude!
@@bwad99 true! But its good to know :)
@@yogitverma0410 absolutely! Glad people like you contribute in the comments to help people out. I like to think of it as an informational forum!
I caught the common cold today. I had a full pack of tetracycline which i took, but the cold came right back even though my temp, food, hydration were in the white. I made a fire and got the heat buff, but as soon as i stepped away from the fire, got hit with a cold again. Which articles of clothing need to be changed out? I also have disinfectant and alcohol tincture but none of my cloths will give me the disinfect action. All my cloths are medium or better insulation and are all atleast worn condition. I even emptied my canteen and refilled it when the sickness icon went away. Took a multivitamin also, still got sick. HALP!!!
Awesome Video Straight to the Point.Highly Recommend
Question? Sometimes I do everything right dress good eat fruit or sardines/tuna in a can cook all meat and I drink from a bottle from a well only. But out of the blue for no reason while walking I get the sick symbol and then the vision and a quick grunt starts pulsating? Another time after fighting off 10 zombies my food water was fine my plus was still in the high yellow all of a sudden got sick and didn't matter how much pills I took and food kept vomiting alot and died! What can I do???
i was here before he blew up
Haven't blown up yet. But if it happens, you an OG😉😂
Very useful video thanks alot !!!
Happy to help🤠
Loved the video a bunch of great tips and tricks to do I didn’t know some of those since I started last week but idk how but every time I spawn after death which has happened a bunch of times due to the Same Illness I get this thing that I haven’t eaten any raw meat or drunken any dirty water but I can’t eat or drink cuz of vomiting just like the bloody hand/ poisoning
Raw meat, bad water, bloody hands can all cause those symptoms.
I also think overeating can make you sick and cause this. I don't know it as a fact/corr part of the game, but it's happened to me personally a few times now. I would over eat to the point where I threw up by accident, and then later on got sick and I had no idea why.
@@bwad99 thanks a lot for replying I’ll try to look into it aswell and try out all the possibilities but I know for a fact I’ve not eaten raw meat, or eaten with bloody hands or dirty water but I have drunk water that I’ve found from bottles but I’ll stop that now that I know it’s bad and again thanks for replying you’ve got a Subscriber 👍🏻
@@rahand2160 ahhh yeah the water in bottles when you find them isn't usually safe to drink. I always pour it out and fill it at a well! That'll do it dude. Appreciate the support💙🤠
I stitched myself using sewing kit and git sick not knowing there was chance from infection from that.
I dont have proof. But the last few months. ive been feeding my character mostly fruits and vegetables. My character hasnt been getting cold sick like before when i would eat large amount of canned foods and meats. I caught a cold from another player and was sick for less than 5 minutes without any meds. Literally coughed once and that was all. I credit the fruit and veggie diet but like i said i cant prove thats why i havent been catching colds in the game. Id like others to test this.
I've heard about this lately. I've heard that some of the fruits or veggies say in their in game descriptions that they have natural vitamins in them, meaning they'd boost your immunity. This could be why!
I made a couple of mistakes. I ate some burnt chicken and I forgot to wash my hands too. I've been playing for few hours now and have taken pills but have been sick for many days. I haven't found the multivitamins yet tho. I'm drinking nice clean water. My stamina is not great and my character keeps making a pain noise. The only thing I don't have is the multivitamins. Will that do the job do you think?
Thanks 😊
Not sure if this is %100 correct but eating Unknown Food Can has a chance or giving you food poisoning aswell. It's happened to me a couple of time but it may have been developed from something else
How to stop getting sick - my first task is always to max out my food and water. After that I can drink any water, eat with bloody hands, eat raw meat, eat gut's, don't get sick etc...
Superb. Cheers
🍻🍻🍻
I found a new and fun way to get sick…I tried to make rope from a pig intestine, but forgot to put my knife in my hand…before I knew it, my guy had taken one big bite. I spent the next 2.5 hours looking for meds, sipping and nibbling and finally got well.
🤣 we all make mistakes. That's brutal
@3:21 Also know that you can wash your hands with a water bottle if you're not near a well, I'm not sure if you can with lake water though
You can wash your hands with any type of water and yes I know you can with a bottle/canteen/pot. Also with disinfectant spray/iodine/alcohol tincture etc.
Very detailed guide, enjoy the sub
Thanks dude🤠
What kind of sickness do you get from unidentified water sources (aka. Found bottles) and how can you cure the sickness from them?
I got fever, high tremperature, idk how to cure that
Treat it like food poisoning. You need to either take charcoal tabs or take little nibbles of food/water until you're full and wait until your immune system fights it off. Also can take vitamins to help.
@@bwad99 thanks :3
I had bloody hands, found gloves, forgot about the bloody hands and was eating alot for a long time and never got sick.
This guide was made before gloves actually protected your hands. Pre (i think) 1.17 bloody hands got you sick no matter what.
my cold just won't go away...... I can't find meds on account of i'm wandering alongside a creek in the middle of no where, and I've tried sitting by a fire for a long while and I'm still sick, what do I do?
🔥🔥🔥
Just eat and drink till your symbols goes from half way to full. You will never get sick. Until then, avoid exposing to the cold because you will get sick often.
You can still get sick. It's just way less likely.
Thanks you👍
Thanks. Now we aren't forced to constantly respawn in order to play.
Doing what I can to help🤠
In the last part is not clear: one can actually treat in early stages a already bandaged wound that is infected? With disinfectant/iodine tincture? I did not know this, just put in your hands the items just mentioned and you can still disnfect a wound that was arrested without disibfected bandages??
Do you have to change gloves after getting rid of sickness (so sickness so wont come back) ?
I want 2 kno y after taking helmet, mask, and gloves off, and taking 4 tetra, sitting by a fire, and keeping all my stats white, I stopped coughing and only have a fever and sneezing. Shits so stupid
I got sick, made it to a hospital and used tetra but I stayed sick. Because I couldn't heal myself I later overdosed on purpose because I couldn't run anymore and was about to die anyway. I gave my character a painless death with 8 morphine injectors.
This is a decent video thank you. I need help with building. Any chance for a newbie build guide through to pro would be great.
I've realised how to attach metal and barbed wire, only been playing 2 years 🤔
I don't messa around with base building tbh dude. Plenty of other great DayZ creators that make great base building guides :)
this gives off school presentation vibes lol
LMAO. I did get my degree in communications and did a lot of public speaking stuff. Guess it's paying off here🤣🤠
@@bwad99 I love that you don't edit out the stutters. That's not me being sarcastic either, it feels like I'm watching a real person instead of the usual WHATSUPGUYSLIKECOMMENTSUBSCRIBE TH-cam bro.
@@stonehandsTV hahahaha yeah man I try to be authentic. And I suck at voice overs so I think leaving in the bad takes sometimes is just funny and makes something that can be boring like a guide a little more entertaining/engaging! Glad you enjoy😁
I'm new to Dayz and have figured out a lot of things the hard way, This vid helps a lot but I think ya missed something...or I'm just really bad at the game, either way i lasted for 10+hr in a life, got a car n was collecting building stuff when i got sick, i did the usual get warm,fed n hydrated and started to wait it out for a bit. Not long after my dude started spewing blood, everything else was full and only the illness icon showed, but the blood icon was dropping fast. passed out twice while spewing blood hard, Then died..i can't find any info yet about it but if ya figure it out it might make a good short vid as i haven't seen any other youtube vid explaining it.. Goodstuff anyway, new sub
Thanks dude. Sounds like you had blood poisoning from radiation. I didn't include it in the vid bc it had just been introduced as I was making this and I didn't know much about it! But good call. Maybe I'll cover it soon🤠
So now if we go north we need a Geiger counter?
So don't pour up drinks with the poo poo yuck water. It's not whiskey. Love it bro
Ya don't wanna drink the poop water man. A little whiskey never hurts though.
I died from sickness watching this >.>
I either die from starvation or getting sick, mainly because getting sick
Nice tips
Thank you!💙🤠
Wearing gloves over bloody hands works 100%
Is it a bad idea too live where a water well is because I am?
Probably. That's a high traffic area.
