Green Hell is a survival game set in the Amazon jungle, where a small cut can quickly turn into a serious problem. Bandages are how you deal with wounds, from scratches and cuts to rashes and venom. There's a basic Leaf Bandage and a set of dressings made by adding one more ingredient to it. Each one suits certain wounds better than others.

How Bandages Work in Green Hell
A bandage's main job is to stop bleeding, which keeps a wound from getting worse. The basic Leaf Bandage does that, but it also has a higher chance of leaving an infection behind than the dressings do. The dressings are built on top of it, and each extra ingredient gives the wound a different benefit, like disinfecting it or fighting venom. That's why it pays to match the dressing to the wound.
How to Craft Bandages and Dressings
Every dressing starts with a Leaf Bandage, so that's always the first thing to make. A Leaf Bandage needs just one Molineria leaf. To make a dressing, combine a Leaf Bandage with one more item: ash, a honeycomb, a tobacco leaf, a plantain lily leaf or Goliath Birdeater ash. Open the crafting menu from your inventory and drag the items onto the crafting spot, and the craft button appears once everything is in place.
How to Apply a Bandage to a Wound
Serious wounds, like lacerations, darken the screen and make your health bar flash red, so you know it's time to act. Open the body inspection view, turn through your limbs, and look for the marked points on your body. Then drag the bandage onto the marked spot, and the marker changes to show the wound is treated.
Which Bandage to Use for Each Wound
If you only remember one bandage, make it the Leaf Bandage. It's the base for every dressing, and it's the go-to for everyday scrapes like scratches and abrasions. For anything more serious, the dressings do more.
Lacerations are the most urgent wounds, because they keep draining your health until they're bandaged. Ash dressing disinfects the cut and helps keep infection away. Honey dressing also works on lacerations, and it covers more wound types than any other dressing.
Venom from snakes, scorpions, spiders and poison dart frogs needs its own treatment. The tobacco dressing is the one for it, since applying it removes the venom and heals the wound over time. Rashes can be treated with honey or lily dressing.
How to Treat an Infected Wound
An infected wound needs maggots before it needs a bandage. Maggots can be found in the wild, or you can get them from spoiled food such as spoiled meat. Apply them to the wound and give them time to eat away the infected tissue, so the dressing has a clean wound to work on. Then put on an ash or honey dressing to finish the job.
FAQ
Can you cure snake venom without a bandage in Green Hell?
Yes. Eating a plantain lily leaf, raw or brewed, works against venom, and so does a tobacco brew. A tobacco dressing also heals the wound over time, which is why it's the better choice for a venom wound.
Can ants close a cut instead of a bandage?
Yes. Placing jungle ants on a laceration stitches it closed, and it's a quick and effective method. The downside is that it causes pain and temporarily lowers your sanity.
Do scratches and abrasions need a bandage?
Yes. They look minor, but they can turn into an infection if you don't wash up and bandage them.
