The Has a Cold Moodle shows that a character has caught a cold. It has four levels, from Runny Nose to Nasty Cold.
A cold is more than a nuisance. A sick character sneezes and coughs, and each sound can draw nearby zombies. At the higher levels the noise is almost constant, which makes sneaking nearly impossible. A cold also keeps getting worse while the character stays cold, wet, hungry or tired. Treating it quickly keeps a survivor quiet and safe.

Has a Cold Moodle Causes
Cold weather causes colds. Spending a long time in low temperatures can bring one on.
Staying wet causes colds too. Rain and heavy sweating can leave clothes soaked, and a character who stays wet long enough may catch a cold.
Once caught, a cold grows stronger until it reaches its peak. It stays at full strength while the character remains cold, hungry, thirsty, wet, tired or outdoors.
Some traits change the risk. Prone to Illness makes colds more likely, stronger and faster to worsen. Resilient and Outdoorsy make them less likely.
Has a Cold Moodle Effects
Runny Nose is the first level. Its tooltip reads "Occasional sneezing." The character has a small chance to sneeze or cough.
The Sniffles is the second level. The character is prone to sneezing. Sneezes and coughs come more often.
Head Cold is the third level. The character feels sick and slow. The character sneezes and coughs often, which makes avoiding zombies difficult.
Nasty Cold is the last level. The character coughs and sneezes continually. The noise is likely to draw zombies again and again.
How to Fix the Has a Cold Moodle
Rest and comfort cure a cold faster. Staying indoors helps. Staying well fed and well rested helps too. Keeping dry and warm stops the cold from lingering.
Common mallow eases cold symptoms. Each one eaten lowers the cold's strength a fair amount, and several can clear it quickly.
Tissues muffle sneezes and coughs. Carrying them dampens the sound, which lowers the risk of drawing zombies while the cold runs its course.
Changing out of wet clothes and drying off prevents colds in the first place. Warm clothing in cold weather helps as well.
Has a Cold Moodle Traits
Resilient greatly lowers the chance of catching a cold. It also weakens colds and slows their progress. Prone to Illness does the opposite, making colds more likely, stronger and faster. Outdoorsy greatly reduces the chance of catching a cold from cold or wet conditions. Fast Healer helps recovery from illness, while Slow Healer slows it.
