contracting HIV from eating monkey meat

[Technature]

Monkey meat and synthetic meat are pretty much the only real ways to get more meat without murder.  Please don't punish the easiest way to make burgers.

well when i was half asleep typing this up i was coming more from the angle that you would contract this through consumption of raw/improperly cooked meat

That's reasonable.

Easting things that fuck you up should be somewhat punishing.

I agree that HIV in particular really shouldn't be in the game. That said, I definitely love the idea of eating monkey meat and other unsanitary things carrying some risk. I believe a while back there was a thread about dirt and corpses and general filth possibly being vectors for disease, and I kind of just want to bring that up, too. I kind of feel like, in general, the game could benefit more from having more options to contract diseases besides random events, admin tomfoolery, and the rare round when the pathologists are both willing and able to unleash something.
