Location: Found in the level 6 locked door on B1 of the Nuke Building's central office area.

Usage: This item is only usable in a rare case. If you stay too close to the guard in the cell who has a cold, Snake will also catch a cold. This will cause Snake to occasionally sneeze, alerting nearby guards (non-player characters).

Tips

Avoid lingering too close to the sick guard in the cell to prevent catching a cold.
Using MEDICINE will prevent the sneezing and alert mechanic.
