Something strange occurred during my early survival that left me with a few questions. I was playing a 3rd generation Pomeranian trying to clear the cats from Shibuya Station. I was running along the rooftops fighting cats and eating everything in sight (I passed the 10K calories mark). At some point, I was told I had fleas. I knew you could catch fleas from dirty mates, but this contraction seemed entirely random. There were no ponds on the roof to bathe myself so I continued onward. After a while, my hunger gauge dropped to zero and eating would not refill it. Using items such as pet food did not restore my Hunger gauge, either. I died and my packmate took over... who also had zero Hunger gauge. The area was not toxic and I was killing and eating left and right, but still could not replenish my Hunger gauge. So, my questions:
1. Does having fleas for too long prevent an animal from replenishing its Hunger gauge?
2. Aside from contacting dirty animals, how does one catch fleas? How can you tell if an animal is dirty?
3. Aside from bathing, how does one get rid of fleas?
If fleas had nothing to do with my death, what caused it?
