Footmuffin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 In the very far future as a very minor detail I think it'd be neat to mitigate colds and similar diseases with oral antiseptics not unlike Listerine. This would make a nice mod or something but if that never happens and those cool Lemmy or RJ dudes needs something to toy with to keep a good dev rhythym going or something they could take a crack at it. Before anyone asks, yes I've tried this and yes it works for the most part. It kills instances of the virus in your mouth and slows/stops them from replicating and reaching their carrying capacity thing where they start attacking the body and stuff. Maybe it would slow and/or lessen the progression of diseases in zomboid?Oh and if I'm super-wrong about anything and you can prove it call me out on it please so I can stop. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If you have a cold/flu . . . it's well past the reach of mouth wash. Kajin and Fryhizzle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyH Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If you have a cold/flu . . . it's well past the reach of mouth wash. That's what I thought, too. I thought this stuff (Listerine) was purely for festering piercings in your mouth. They could maybe add cold medicine, but thats 90% sleeping pill and 10% some herbs to clear your throat.

Gaffa Tape Warrior Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (I had replied to this, but by the mysteries of computers it has vanished)If you wake up feeling like you're getting a bit of a cold, then you can gargle some vinegar or distilled alcohol and feel fine for the rest of the day. Or apparently you could use Listerine, whatever craven commodity that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryhizzle Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I literally just got over a cold from two days ago, and I can confirm that gargling Listerine does not stop anything. At least it didn't for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the tissues I went through, they'd better be clean, cuz its as clean as its gonna get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
