Issue Description

If you get any sort of hunger virus, such as Grut Gut or Fungal Tuberculosis you will rapidly loose nutrition and eventually start starving. Starving will set you into cardiac arrest, but since you cant die from oxygen damage you will instead get stunlocked.

What did you expect to happen?

Either to die from starvation (and then get revived at standard zombie hunger value), or be immune to illnesses. Definitely not getting stunlocked.

What happened instead?

Starved to not-death and got stunlocked. Had to have an admin kill me.

Why is this bad/What are the consequences?

Stunlocks are bad, and at that point its better to kill the player.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Get sick with a hunger virus (I got grut gut).
  2. Get infected with Necrotizing Plague.
  3. Wait for starvation.
  4. Notice you cant do anything now.

When did the problem start happening?
