Poison

 is one of the Status Effects on the player in the world of Stranded Deep.

Summary
Poison is a status effect that is caused by coming into contact with creatures such as Lionfish, Crown of Thorns Starfish or Sea Urchins. You can easily tell when you've been poisoned, as a message will appear saying that the player "feels ill". The player's vision will become green, tinged, and numerous boils and rashes will appear on their arm. The player will slowly lose health when poisoned, and if untreated, will die in a few days.

Cure
The only way to treat Poison is by consuming Antidote, which is crafted using pipi. You can obtain pipi inside bunches small green plants on the ground or by farming.

Note: There use to be antibiotics which were found in crates, however these were removed and replaced with craft-able antidote. Also you must be crafting level 3 before you can craft the antidote.

Tips

 * Getting poisoned at the start of the game can make it very difficult to continue. Consider reloading if this occurs.
 * While you have the poisoned status effect, you won't become stacked with "even more poisoning" if you are affected by other poison sources. There's only one "poisoned" effect. However, night snakes can still cause regular damage to you with their attacks.
 * It is recommended to have at least two pipi farms at all times. This will provide the player with enough antidotes in case of poisons.
 * Crown of thorns starfish are probably the most common way to be poisoned, as they can be around your base if it is on the beach. Be mindful of where they are, or places an object like a leaf or tyre over this as a reminded. They also move, keep this in mind.
 * Save regularly, if you get poisoned you can reload.
 * When mining clay deposits, it is quite easy to get poisoned by sea snakes, sea urchins, and lion fish. Be mindful of your surroundings.
 * If you wish to make shark repellent, make sure you don't touch the lion fish after you spear them. Carry the ingredients with you. Once the lion fish has been speared, craft the shark repellent straight way which in the water.
