| − | '''Food poisoning''' is acquired by [[eat]]ing an old [[corpse]]. It is marked by the text <code>FoodPois</code> on the status line. The initial time-to-live is set to 10 + 1d9 turns.<ref>[[Eat.c#line1270]]</ref> It is eventually fatal, but can be cured by doing one of the following:

| − | *[[apply]]ing a non-cursed [[unicorn horn]],
| |
| − | *[[pray]]ing to your god,
| |
| − | *quaffing a non-cursed potion of [[potion of extra healing|extra healing]] or [[potion of full healing|full healing]], a blessed potion of [[potion of healing|healing]], or a [[potion of holy water]] (unless chaotic),
| |
| − | *casting a [[spellbook of cure sickness|spell of cure sickness]],

| − | *eating a [[eucalyptus leaf]],

| − | *[[invoke|#invoking]] the [[Staff of Aesculapius]].

| − | The full list of less common remedies also includes:
| |
| − | * vomiting from eating [[Tripe ration|tripe]], [[egg|a rotten egg]], or in [[SporkHack]], drinking a potion of salt water. This is quite unreliable, but it's there.
| |
| − | *[[polymorph]]ing into a new version of yourself<ref>[[Polyself.c#line190]]</ref> or a sickness-resistant monster<ref>[[Polyself.c#line1411]]</ref>. (A new version includes if you "fail" to change form, but get your attributes adjusted.)
| |
| − | *getting hit by a nurse's healing attack<ref>[[Mhitu.c#line1407]]</ref>,
| |
| − | *[[sit]]ting on a throne (1/13 chance)<ref>[[Sit.c#line188]]</ref>.

| − | And importantly [[Poison resistance]] is '''not a remedy''', if you become food poisoned and rely on this you will die.

| − | Food poisoning is completely preventable (in [[NetHack]]) by avoiding eating old corpses. Corpses left by zombies and other undead (except [[wraith]]) are always considered old. A corpse is too old to eat after 6*(9+1d20) turns, where 6 is replaced with 8 if blessed and 4 if cursed.<ref>[[Eat.c#line1253]]</ref>
