Food poisoning is acquired by eating an old corpse. It is marked by the text FoodPois on the status line. The initial time-to-live is set to 10-19 turns, uniformly distributed.[1] It is eventually fatal, but can be cured by doing one of the following:
- applying a non-cursed unicorn horn
- praying to your god
- eating a eucalyptus leaf
- quaffing a non-cursed potion of extra healing or full healing, a blessed potion of healing, or a potion of holy water (if not chaotic)
- casting a spell of cure sickness
- #invoking the Staff of Aesculapius
- polymorphing into a new version of yourself or a sickness-resistant monster
Food poisoning is completely preventable (in NetHack) by avoiding eating old corpses. Corpses left by zombies and other undead are always considered old. Unfortunately, you never know how long it takes for a corpse to become old.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, you may also get food poisoning from swallowing a pill. You can cure food poisoning by sitting on a toilet.
