Overview
First Aid is a crafting skill used to treat the player's injuries. As the skill level increases, the player will perform medical interactions faster, make bandages and poultices last longer, make splints more effective and heal fractures faster and evaluate the severity of wounds and infections. Contrary to popular belief, first aid does not make wounds such as scratches or lacerations heal faster. Experience is gained by players treating themselves or other players.
Usage
Treatment is carried out by right clicking on the body in the health status window, or right clicking the health status text if injuries are present. Treatment requires materials, even basic ones such as Ripped Sheets and/or Bourbon. Injuries are indicated by bleeding and/or injured moodles. First Aid will not reduce or change the chance of zombification from a zombie scratch or bite.

First Aid flow
First, identify the type of wound and its location.
- For a scratch or laceration, aplly bandage so the wound will start heal faster. Wounds do not heal when untreated, so its better to have any bandage appied as soon as possible. Therefore, it isnt recommended to change bandages even if they get dirty. Dirty bandages dont affect healing rates, but in between times of wound not having any bandages applied does.
- For deeper injuries, first remove any foreign object(bullet,glass),its recommended (and necessary in case of bullet) to use tweezers or suture needle holder for removal, you can use hands but it will give additional pain, then stitch up the wound using a needle and thread or suture needle. Bandaging reduces rec
- For fractures, apply a splint if possible (note: head and torso fractures cannot be splinted), then bandage. Fractures can take a very long time to heal. If possible, apply Comfrey reducing recovery time of a fracture by 50%.
- When character is caught on fire, you should immediately quench it, otherwise death is imminent, any source of water or fire extinguisher. Burns should be treated like laceration and scratches. Sterilized bandages are strongly recommended if available. Note that burns take much longer to heal than normal injuries.
- For a bite, similar to scratch or laceration, bandage to stop the bleeding. However, player will die 100% of the time after a bite from zombification, unless the option is turned off in sandbox. If bites are surviveable, they heal much longer than laceration.
Once the immediate crisis is averted, all that remains is to monitor the patient's status. Scratches and lacerations that were inflicted by a zombie still have chance(7% for scratch and 25% for laceration) to kill via zombification, so should be monitored for at least incubation period(24 hours in vanilla) for diagnosation.
Items
Bandages
Bandages are used to treat injuries and will stop wounds from bleeding. Bandages will become dirty over time, but can be washed with clean water in the player's inventory. Getting bandaged by a doctor with high first aid skill will cause the bandages to last longer before becoming dirty. Sterilized bandages prevent the wound of getting infected and reduce the level of any current wound infection. Dirty bandages increases infection chance.

Surgical suture (also known as stitches) or suture is a medical procedure used to hold together a wound after an injury or surgery.
