A hemolytic reaction is your body fighting blood of the wrong type. It is no infection, so nothing grows or spreads: it starts when a transfusion with more than 175 ml of wrong blood ends, drains blood for a fixed time and then stops by itself.

Stages

How the disease runs in the game, stage by stage: when it starts, what it does, and whether it still heals.

  1. Reaction

    heals by itself

    more than 175 ml of wrong blood, when the transfusion ends

    Symptoms

    • Passing out
    • Losing blood without bleeding
    • Sick icon in the status bar

    You lose 7 blood per second for ~2.8 min — ~1170 in total. Sick icon.

    Ends by itself after ~2.8 min.

How to get rid of it

Wait it out; a saline drip makes up for part of the loss. Then let your blood regenerate.

How to avoid it

Test both blood types with a blood test kit first; O negative is safe for everyone.

Good to know

  • More than 75 ml of wrong blood already knocks you out when the transfusion ends.
  • Wrong blood adds nothing to your blood — the bag is wasted.
  • Germs in the bag reach you either way, matching blood or not.
  • 0− blood suits everyone, and AB+ can take every type. Test with a blood test kit first.
