Notes

• Basically a much more difficult version of the Missed scenario, as you yet again start off in the city, surviving is based on carefulness, and a little bit of luck, you may be able to find antibiotics or atreyupan in houses or pharmacies to name a few places to go, but given as you start with an active infection, disinfectant nor cauterisation won't do the job at all, eating healthy will give you a better chance of recovering from the infection, but the more severe an infection gets, the less chance you have to be able to go out and find more treatments.
• You will want to try and search the city for antibiotics before you reach stage 2 infection, once you get to stage 2 infection, it will become too dangerous to try searching the city for medicine, so you may want to either look in the forest for fruits (if it's summer or autumn) and/or vegetables, or search any rural areas such as rural houses or farms for the slight chance of any medicine.
• By the time you fall ill by stage 3 infection, you will keep passing out, have a extreme drop in strength, and will essentially end up bedridden and hardly able to move much, so by that stage, you are better off staying hidden in a safe location hoping that any found medicines cure your infection or healthy foods help you recover from it on your own. If you recover from the infection, don't celebrate too much yet, as you will still need to let it recover enough ready to be out in the field again. If you die, just know that this scenario is a potluck of death even with the decent extra points.
• Heartburn medicine is also very useful for this scenario, as it gives the healthy foods you eat a better chance to digest from the constant vomiting caused by the infection, which heartburn medicine lowers the chance of.
