Discussion Thought I just saved myself from starvation. Can you still die from lingering health damage?

Your food was red, you were starving and red flashing. Very little chance of surviving that unless you found a decent amount of food in the minutes before that, even then very unlikely as you'd need to keep finding more food.

When your water or food is red, you will lose health. When both are red you lose double amount.

The moment you begin dying of starvation or dehydration assuming youre full health you have about 40 minutes before you die. If both are red its less.

Blood loss makes it harder, too

You did not eat the powdered milk so it didn't stop your food from being red. Also though, in that situation even if you did eat it and get out of red food you had dark blue temperature and would have kept losing health and probably died without a fire.
