The Box of Tissues is an ordinary box of paper tissues. It gives about twenty Tissues, one at a time.
Tissues matter to a survivor with a cold. An equipped Tissue mutes the sneezes and coughs that come from a cold. The box is a common find in stores and homes, so a sick survivor rarely goes without. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Box of Tissues
The Take Tissue recipe pulls one Tissue from the box. A full box gives about twenty before it runs out.
The Tissue is held in either hand to work. While it is equipped, it muffles the sneezes and coughs of a cold. Each muffled sneeze wears the Tissue down. It lasts about ten sneezes before a fresh one is needed. Common Mallow eases the cold itself, so the two work well together.
The box also burns as fuel in a fire.
Upkeep
Each Take Tissue uses up one of the twenty or so tissues in the box. A survivor with a cold can take one tissue at a time. The rest stay in the box until needed.
