What to do if you have a fever because Zombie bites
Zombie bites are always fatal in the game, and there is no known cure or treatment for a zombie bite. Once a person is bitten, they will eventually turn into a zombie themselves.
The best way to avoid bites is to get good at combat and use large weapons. Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid letting zombies get close behind you, as they may grab you and bite you.
