MEDICAL

Use the DayZ symptom checker to narrow down diseases, review treatment items, and estimate how energy, water, and vitamins affect immunity.

Triage before treatment

Get into cover, stop bleeding, and secure water and food before chasing a diagnosis. Match the full symptom pattern, recent exposure, and prevention history rather than treating one symptom in isolation. When blood type is unknown, saline is the safer IV choice; use typed blood only after testing both recipient and bag.
