 | Put the used mouth swab into the machine and wait for a health report. Take the report to the Chem lab so they can create medication that you can administer to the infected patients. It is recommended to use the medical scanner to identify first , since there is no need to waste a swab on people that is not infected

Tip : It is a good idea to mass produce vaccine once an outbreak begins. After you vaxed yourself, you still need to produce more vaccines. It is also a good idea to stash a good number of vaccine for the cloned ones, as they would loss all immunity to all previous infections

=== Utilizing Spacecillin ===

[[Chemistry#chem_Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]] is an excellent drug that can used to cure most of the common illness or even some of the more serious ones.

I have made a [https://www.desmos.com/calculator/njnzhztz3n simple graph] to visualize how it is calculated.

== Kill , Clone , Vaccinate ==

When dealing with a deadly disease you do not know how to treat, like owonagen or bleeders bite. You can produce the vaccine from a infected dead body and give that vaccine to anyone that was cloned. That way, everyone coming out of the cloning pod area would be immune to the disease.

== Overpowering OwOnavirus == <!-- TODO: give this a better title -->

You can develop a drug that postpones the lethal effect of OwOnavirus; meaning you will still have owo-speak, but at least you won't die! ''(note: you will still be contagious, so good luck outrunning sec when they start hunting the infected)''

There are two ways to make such a drug:

1. Outhealing the overdose damage

You would need a mix of [[Chemistry#chem_Ultravasculine|Ultravasculine]] & [[Chemistry#chem_DexalinPlus|Dexalin Plus]] with some [[Chemistry#chem_Tricordrazine|Tricordrazine]] (to compensate for the brute damage caused by Ultravasculine). Since Ultravasculine is difficult to acquire in bulk (as a non T), this method should be used on cigars (as the amount of drug you put in there doesn't matter). 

''(note: if the Ephedrine buildup manages to reach the max cap of chem your body can hold, you will still die of overdose however it would take a long time)'' <!-- todo: paraphrase so this makes more sense -->

2. Change part of the Ephedrine in your body to [[Chemistry#chem_Desoxyephedrine|Desoxyephedrine]]

Phosphorus, iodine, ephedrine and carbon make desoxyphedrine. If you manage to change the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine, part of the Ephedrine would be metabolised faster ''(0.5/s + 0.125/s vs 0.5/s)''. 

Unfortunately, Desoxyephedrine will cause stuttering and Poison damage. That, plus the owo-speak will almost completely remove your ability to speak comprehensibly. And since you cannot see exactly what is in your body, you need to take the medicine blind. <!-- Somehow incorporate this: (you can only tell if you have overdosed on something) -->
Not a suggested method unless you know ''exactly'' what you are doing.
== Beating the Zombie Outbreak on the station.==
First thing. DO NOT GO TO MEDBAY UNLESS THE CHEMIST MADE ZOMBIE CURE. Because Medbay is the primary target for the zombies. Second, get to sec or a place that is very very far from Medbay or the middle. Third, you need to get some kind of weapon that can hit long ranges. (Ex: Spears if you use it correctly, Guns, etc.)
If your a Sec officer. You have 2 ways. Reinforce Sec or kill many zombies as possible.

(Note this is incomplete.)
