How to Cure Dysentery in 7 Days to Die 1.0
Diarrhea
In 7 Days to Die, dysentery is a debuff you’ll likely encounter early on. It hits you after consuming murky water, old sham sandwiches, raw meat, or rotting flesh. This condition lasts for a solid 60 minutes in-game and, if left untreated, it’ll start draining your Fullness and Hydration at alarming rates. This could lead to starvation and dehydration, so tackling it head-on is crucial for survival.

Goldenrod Tea
The golden ticket to curing dysentery is Goldenrod Tea. This beverage not only helps to alleviate dysentery but also provides a useful buff. To craft it, you’ll need to get your hands on the Goldenrod Tea recipe from the Home Cooking Weekly 4/100.

Here’s how to whip up a batch:
- Ingredients: 1 Goldenrod Flower and 1 Water
Set up a Campfire and use a Cooking Pot. Find Goldenrod Flowers in the forest; they’re easy to spot with their bright yellow hue. Boil the water and mix with the Goldenrod Flower to create this lifesaving tea.

Pure Mineral Water
If Goldenrod Tea isn't available, Pure Mineral Water is your next best bet. This is a bit more complex to make but effective. Here’s what you need:
- Ingredients: 1 Water, 1 Goldenrod Flower, 1 Coal, and 1 Chrysanthemum Flower
- Steps: First, purify Murky Water using a Campfire and Cooking Pot. Then, gather Coal from burnt trees or Coal Ore. Lastly, find Chrysanthemum Flowers in the forest. Combine all these ingredients after you’ve read Wasteland Treasures Vol. 4 to get Pure Mineral Water.

Avoiding Dysentery in the Future
Prevention is better than cure! Use Vitamins to prevent new cases of dysentery while you’re already afflicted. Although they won’t cure the current dysentery, they’ll stop new cases from developing.
If you’re stuck with severe dysentery and running low on resources, you might have to make a tough choice. Sometimes, the best way to handle a bad situation is to let your character die and respawn. This way, dysentery will be gone, but you’ll face a death penalty. It’s a drastic measure, but it’s sometimes necessary in the zombie apocalypse.
Navigating the zombie apocalypse in 7 Days to Die can be daunting, especially when you’re battling dysentery. By using Goldenrod Tea or Pure Mineral Water, you can effectively cure this pesky debuff and keep your survival chances high. Always be on the lookout for resources and plan ahead to prevent future cases of dysentery. Stay sharp, stay prepared, and keep surviving!
