| − | '''Food poisoning''' is a type of [[sickness]] acquired by [[eat]]ing an old [[corpse]]. It is marked by the text <code>FoodPois</code> on the status line. It is eventually fatal if untreated, with the initial time-to-live is set to 10 + 1d9 turns.<ref>[[Eat.c#line1270]]</ref>
| + | #REDIRECT [[Sickness#Food_poisoning]] |
| − | | |
| − | 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>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite the name, food poisoning is unrelated to [[poison]] and is unaffected by [[poison resistance]]. [[Sickness resistance]] in vanilla Nethack is possessed only by [[ghoul]]s and [[fungus|fungi]].

| − | ==Remedies==
| |
| − | Food poisoning can be easily cured with any 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.
