Use an antiseptic on the infected site, then monitor the arrow on its icon. The Basic Training text says that arrow shows whether the infection is progressing or regressing.
Apply to the correct site
Open the health panel, identify the affected limb and use the antiseptic there. The tutorial includes a failure case for consuming the supply in the wrong place, so the destination matters as much as owning the item.
The course suggests repeated treatment every few minutes. Treat that as tutorial guidance, not a universal schedule: run settings alter infection progression and how long antiseptics last.
Watch the trend
Do not stop monitoring because the wound looks wrapped. Infection is separate from bleeding, and the developer describes untreated infections as lethal. Being well fed and in good condition can slow progression, but does not substitute for treating an established infection.
The severe-infection moodle warns of spread and sepsis risk. Read its current wording instead of guessing from icon color alone.
What to do next
Check every affected limb and remaining symptoms after treatment. Use sepsis warnings if the issue has become systemic. For a simple bleeding wound without infection, follow dressings; the two pages address different conditions.
