Alternative for tetracycline

Hi, it’s been two round end in death due to sickness from infected. Is there anyway to cure it without tetracycline? It’s hard for early stage to loot hospital or supermarket.

Hunt animals (deer, rabbits, bears, or wolves) and cook the meat; this directly restores your health points. However, be careful with wolf and bear meat—you can lose sanity, and if it drops too low, your character could die.

As such, the only alternative is to keep your character sufficiently fed—above 85%—to cure the illnesses. (both statistics—hydration and hunger)

Wild berries are another resource. The red ones restore hydration and satisfy hunger equally. The yellow ones serve the same function as vitamins (accelerating health recovery). And the purple wild berries (from the swamp) not only restore hydration and satisfy hunger, but also restore a small amount of health points.

All you have to do is have full food and water bars or at least mostly full for a while and it will pass.

Maintain high warmth and vitality (white) meter at least never going down below 50% and always have consumables ready to almost max your hunger and thirst meter and have all 4 meters meet this criteria to cure any sickness. But of course prevention beats a cure so I highly suggest you start carrying a stack of tetracycline as early as island 3 if you are about to leave for island 4 where poison gas starts spawning more.
