What are wound infections in Project Zomboid?

Just like their name suggests, these wounds carry a bout of infection with them. The undead can cause these wounds, and they are of different types. While some of them are easy to heal, a bitten infection will usually prove to be fatal. Let’s learn a bit more about how you might end up with these types of infections.

Infected wounds are of two types: normal and Knox. It’s the latter you have to be careful about, as a Knox infection means that you’re now being slowly transformed into a zombie. Unfortunately, the health tab only indicates you are getting an infection and nothing more. This makes it highly problematic, especially if you’re a beginner.
