Exposed to Slimelung through exosuits?

First I heard of

I know that before QOL3 it was possible to pump slime lung infected oxygen into exosuits and the dupes never became a germ host

Or could it be that they breathe it in somewhere else, put in their exosuits and I just think it happened with the exo suits on?

Well, I actually have slimelung disease inside my sealed base even with exosuit docks. I'm pumping clear oxygen from electrolyzers to exosuits.

I don't know how the first germs sneaked inside the base but dupes are sneezing and spreading germs regardless...

I guess building a med bay will be a must this time...

Removing the new slimelung from a suposedly sterile enviroment is a pain. We need better tools than chlorine and deodorizers IMO. It's not impossible but boring as hell.

 

Correct me if I’m wrong. But you can still only get slimelung from breathing it? If it’s on the exosuit you can’t get sick from touching it to put it on. Or from digging out say gold that is infected with slimelung because it won’t off gas infecting the air. If this has changed me current base is in big trouble.

You are right however there are multiple ways the slimelung can get into the air after touching a dupes hands like for example handling algae for diffusers and terrariums 

Even washing hands has a risk as the germs are in the PW, if you use wash basins and the PW bottles start to off-gas.....

even with sinks and you use a sieve the germs can get on the Pdirt and when that off-gasses.....

bottom line is having germs of any type in your base carries risk so best to try and disinfect everything as much as possible to play it safe

I'm at ~cycle 100. I've build a medbay, two in fact. but does even one dupe who's got slimelung go to see the doctor? (It's even Liam, ...who does not like Liam...?

Not a single one...instead they cough up my base...wtf am I doing wrong...?

Diseases management is completely bananas on this update...

At times like these I would love to go to sandbox mode, pick the biggest brush tool and draw a nice magma smiley right when everyone is in the recreation room (except liam) :wilson_cry:

The germs are possibly on the outsides of the parked suits inside the base. A small amount does get into the air, I think. I solved this by placing a few Buddy Buds next to the suit-stations so the air is full of floral scent and it can take only one germ type. As I did this preemptively, I don't know whether it actually is a problem or not.

An alternate solution might be a waterlock-chlorine-waterlock base entry to sterilize the suits.

Nope, nowadays you can eat it too. So if a dupe grabs a handful of clay/gold with slime on it and climbs the central ladder in your colony, all dupes going to mess hall and using the same ladder will get enough germs on their hands (and then food) to get infected.

Nowadays it may be a good idea to have dupes wash hands not just after going to toilet, but again before eating. Clean dupes do not wash hands, so it's only a matter of extra space and piping.

Do you have med packs made from the apothecary? 
QoL III docs are no longer just bedside manner specialists. Big Pharma has taken over. All the doc is going to do is load them up with pills; if the pharmacy is out of stock dupes won't even bother.

They'll only go to the medbay if you have med packs that can can be used to cure slimelung. Otherwise they simply have to put up with it.

Thank you. The magma cured the slimelung! :wilson_evil::wilson_ecstatic:

haha, joke aside,...

thanks, the medicine pack totally slipped my mind/eye
