I had gotten sick once from drinking potentially unsafe water earlier in the game. Since that point I have gotten HMP multiple times after only consuming safe materials. Each time I can cure my illness with one to three chelating tablets. Shortly after consuming the safe food and water I will vomit and get the same sickness. I have not died yet so I haven’t been able to reproduce this entire situation from scratch.

I don’t know the your game engine but I am a programmer and here are my guesses of potential causes:

• HMP has a toggle on for transmission and because I haven’t changed my face mask since being sick there is a status trigger in the face mask that activates when I eat.

• The water that I drink is being stored in a pot. The pot is stored in the back of a vehicle. Perhaps on freezing it possibly obtains the ability to cause HMP.

• Any frozen item or cold item accidentally obtains the ability to cause HMP.

All data is collected from a vanilla Sakhal server that I own. All files were reset and the .xml files for the loot was reset to the default as well before the start of the server. The server is only played on by me and one friend and is whitelisted so interference has occurred.
