Severe Lacerations is a physical Injury acquired from Struggles from a Cougar.

Affliction[]

You have sustained multiple deep slashing cuts from the Cougar's claws. Your Condition and Stamina are compromised, and you are at greater risk of Infection and Blood Loss until you are healed.
In-game description

Severe Lacerations is always applied to the survivor during a Cougar struggle and lasts for 72 hours, requiring no treatment to cure. While afflicted the survivor will periodically receive new afflictions of Blood Loss and Infection Risk (which will require Bandages and Antiseptic to treat).

Note: Time Accelerating tasks (Sleep, Pass Time, Crafting, Harvesting, etc) are extremely dangerous while afflicted with Severe Lacerations, as new instances of Blood Loss can appear and rapidly kill the survivor (e.g. while asleep).
