Here's one example of an infected edges timeline. Note this was both the longest and most varried event I've recorded:
-Original wound obtained: 9pm Day 1 (10/31/22)
-Infection started: Day 2 11 pm, after 4.5 hours in game with the original wound. Inspection showed: "worringly deep red edges (-2)"
-8 minutes later: "faintly miscolored edges (-2)"
-9 minutes later: "faintly miscolored edges (-1)"
-The next morning (Day 3) at 9am (11/2) it was still "faintly miscolored edges (-1)"
-At 3pm Day 3 it was back to "worringly deep red edges (-2)"
-6 minutes later it was "faintly miscolored "-1)"
-By 9p it was still "faintly miscolored "(-1)"
-After that I didn't examine the wound again and my toon died at 2am the next morning (Day 4, 5 hrs later) while I as afk.
