===[[File:Tmed.png]] <font color=green>Toxins</font>===
This is the second from the left on the Health Analyzer. It is not visible on the person's health doll. Thankfully it is easy to treat.

'''Ways of getting damaged:'''

* Breathing plasma deals toxic damage.
* Many [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|chemicals]] deal toxic damage.
* Drinking a lot of alcohol can hurt your liver and deal toxic damage.
* A severely damaged or missing liver will deal toxic damage. Liver failure will also prevent the patient from processing any reagents.
* High doses of [[radiation]] deal toxic damage.

'''Treatment:'''

* Mind the difference between chemical named [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxin|"toxin"]] and toxic damage. The [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|chemical]] deals toxic damage as long as it is present in bloodstream. [[Guide_to_chemistry#Anti-Toxin|Anti-toxin]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Charcoal|charcoal]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Pentetic_Acid|Ppentetic acid]] purge toxins and heal the damage. In extreme cases, the person might be taking toxic damage faster than the anti-toxin can heal it! In these cases, you need to prioritise purging the toxic chemicals.
* [[Guide_to_chemistry#Thializid|Thializid]] heals toxic damage and purges toxic chemicals. 
* [[Guide_to_chemistry#Charcoal|Charcoal]] works the same as [[Guide_to_chemistry#Anti-Toxin|anti-toxin]], but can not be overdosed. 
* [[Guide_to_chemistry#Pentetic_Acid|Pentetic acid]] heals toxic damage and purges toxins more quickly than charcoal. Also purges [[radiation]].  
* [[Guide_to_chemistry#Calomel|Calomel]] purges toxic chemicals more quickly than pentetic acid but doesn't heal toxic damage, and will '''deal''' toxic damage if the patient has 20 health or more. 
* [[Cryoxadone]] in a [[Medical_items#Cryogenics Tube & Freezer|cryotube]] or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including toxic. 
* Lime juice, tea, iced tea can slowly heal it.
* Vomiting heals some toxic damage. You usually can't control it, however.
* If patient has a failing liver, a liver transplant will stop the toxin damage caused by that liver, and will allow chemicals to work in the body.

====[[File:Blood Pack.png]] Bleeding====
After a limb sustains 30 brute damage, it will start bleeding.

IVs and gauze will temporarily provide relief from bleeding. [[File:IV Drip.png]]

'''WARNING: Incorrect blood types are toxic to the patient, and will not replenish their blood!'''

'''Treating bloodloss:'''
# Bandage wound with a medical gauze to stop bleeding.
# Locate brute damage.
# Treat brute damages above ~30 to halt bleeding.
# Assess blood levels, if low or critical, proceed with blood transfusion.
# If a blood transfusion is unavailable, blood will be naturally produced by the body, albeit slowly.
# Iron and most foods will improve blood regeneration.

'''Blood transfusion:'''
# Use medical scanner on patient to find blood type.
# Obtain blood pack from [[surgery]], [[virology]], or [[cargo]].
# Make sure IV drip is in the blue "inject" mode. You toggle this by clicking the IV drip when nothing is attached to it. 
# Attach blood pack to IV drip.
# Click-drag IV drip onto patient. 
# Check up on patient's blood levels regularly, this process moves quickly. 
# Detach patient from IV drip by click-dragging the IV drip onto the patient again, or simply clicking the IV. If you forget this the patient will take some brute damage from the needle being ripped out. 
# Detach blood pack by clicking on the IV drip.

'''Blood donation:'''
# Make sure IV drip is in the red "take" mode. You toggle this by clicking the IV drip when nothing is attached to it. 
# Attach a beaker or an empty blood pack to IV drip.
# Attach to a donor by click-dragging it onto the donor.
# Blood pack will automatically fill. The alarm will sound if patient's blood levels reach critical.
# Detach IV drip by click-dragging it onto the donor again or simply clicking the IV.
# Click on IV drip to eject the beaker or blood pack. Label appropriately.
