''Toxin Damage'' is the third type of damage, and is somewhat less commonplace than any of the others. Plasma, radiation, and severe alcohol poisoning all increase toxin levels, at varying effectiveness, as well as other methods. | ''Toxin Damage'' is the third type of damage, and is somewhat less commonplace than any of the others.

Regardless of how the damage is accrued, it is dangerous in that it has no visual tell. Individuals suffering from poisoning will appear just the same as anyone else, aside from their decaying health and potential fits of vomiting. Toxin Damage is also marginally more involved to treat than Brute and Burn, as the Sleeper Pods have no inherent way to treat it (until upgraded by Science). As such, these cases will necessitate a trip into [[Medical_Doctor#Medical_Storage]] to grab a Toxins Treatment Kit, which will contain [[Guide_to_chemistry#Charcoal|Charcoal]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Anti-Toxin|Anti-Toxin]] pills. Both are very nearly equivalent, but Anti-Toxin has an overdose threshold of 30u, so use it sparingly. | Regardless of how the damage is accrued, it is dangerous in that it has no visual tell.

If a patient has Toxin Damage, it is also prudent to use the chemical scan functionality on your Health Analyzer on them (click the Analyzer in your active hand to change between scanning physical and chemical health). If they are actively suffering from [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|poisoning]], continue to administer Charcoal or Anti-Toxin - both will reduce Toxin Damage ''and'' remove other chemicals from the patient - until the offending substance is purged from their bloodstream and their Toxin Damage is reduced to zero. | If a patient has Toxin Damage, it is also prudent to use the chemical scan functionality on your Health Analyzer on them (click the Analyzer in your active hand to change between scanning physical and chemical health).
