Parasites
Aye! Spoily material ahead, turrrn back!
If you see the message "Ugh. You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines." you have been contaminated by one of IVAN's diseases (though this is not actually a disease, I consider it to be classified as one in IVAN). Every time this message appears, you loose some HP.
You can get contaminated by multiple reasons:
- Eating spoiled food
- Kobolts and Goblins might have them, so don't eat them if they're rotten.
- Black unicorns
You can get rid of parasites by:
- Vomiting until the game says that you notice the dead parasite in the vomit
- Drinking antidote potion
- Ultimately, if the previous won't help, by drinking Sulphuric acid. This'll kill you though, if you don't have a strong acid resistance
