Effects

• Nausea effect has a high chance to cause vomiting. Vomiting empties your stomach (recently eaten food and drinks will not be digested into nutrition) and reduces duration effects of consumed alcohol and food poisoning. Vomiting also removes any undigested painkillers from your stomach, but any profit already imposed by them stays.
• Maximum duration is 15 minutes (unless the source of this effect keeps adding).
• Maximum intensity level is 3, and its scalable with duration (each 5 minutes of duration equals to a level in intensity).
• There are no alternative display names for higher levels.
• Higher levels of nausea increase chances of vomiting.
• While being nauseous your comestibles will be displayed in pink color with a warning that you are about to puke them out if you decide to eat them. In fact the more food you have in your stomach while being nauseous the more likely you are to vomit.
• Vomiting causes negative morale. No one likes to barf.

Cure

• Nausea will dissipate in time by itself when the reason is gone, and you keep your stomach empty for the time being.
• Heartburn medicine, which imposes the Soothed stomach effect. It reduces chance for vomiting, allowing you to wait out nausea without vomiting.
