So i almost got myself killed the other day (1 hp left!).
How? Apparently, i ate too much sushi with a few onions.
Now that's just wierd. Eating raw fish and even meat isn't harmful.
If you're unlucky, you might get sick if the animal was sick. As far as i know, humans started cooking mainly because of that, and also because the food will last longer, is easier to chew and you can eat more without getting stomach ache. And what's wrong with onions, anyway?
Either way, the punishment for eating raw food is imo way over the top...
