DayZ: How to Cure a Cold

Colds in DayZ are caught by spending too much time in the cold, or by contact with infected players.

If you're playing during winter seasons you'll have an increased chance of catching one, but prevention is easy: stay warm, and stay away from anyone that's infected.

Multivitamin Pills can help prevent catching a cold if you can find them, but curing a cold will require Tetracyline Pills, an uncommon item that can be found in medical regions of the map.
