Boars are the bane of all newbies. They HUNT newbies. Lurking behind trees and waiting, waiting for you to step too close. That's right, closer... and they're off, a flurry of tusks and rage, and before you know it you're in a pool of your own blood with a piggy happily sitting on your head. And then when it finally leaves, you try to hobble away only to pass out because the boar ate your goddamn shoes and now you have a thorn in your foot. But I digress.
As for HP, you can probably forget getting gauze from a sheep unless your herb-finding stats are quite good (you need a special herb to give to the sheep first, see). You'll have to look for a swamp and wander around in it until you get a bunch of leeches drinking your blood, making sure that your hunger is above 80% and that your SHP isn't too low. Then... you wait. A good while, healing via leeches takes ages, but it works, as long as a boar doesn't stomp on you while you have leeches equipped. This causes you to pass out constantly and lose HHP as you struggle to pick the leeches off in between bouts of unconsciousness, which can make you dead.
