Nausea

Version 0.10: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Nausea is a status condition that typically prevents characters from eating food until it wears off and is risked when susceptible species eat a contaminated or rotten chunk of meat.

Nauseated characters may only consume food if they are at, or near, starving. However, eating any kind of food while nauseated (contaminated or not) has a chance of resulting in sickness. Eating food rations while nauseous gives 50% nutrition. Eating chunks gives even less and you are duly informed: 35% or less nutrition is "not very filling"; 15% or less nutrition is "extremely unsatisfying."

There is something wrong with this meat. (Onset of nausea)
You can't stomach food right now! (Trying to eat while nauseous but not starving)
You force it down, but cannot stomach much of it. (Eating food while nauseous)
That was not very filling. (Eating a chunk while nauseous)
That was extremely unsatisfying. (Eating a chunk while nauseous)
You feel ill. (Onset of sickness)

Your stomach is not as upset anymore, and you want to eat. (Nausea ends)
