Rotten Flesh is a food item dropped by Zombies and Zombie Pigmen. Eating it restores 20% of your hunger meter. However, Rotten Flesh has an 80% chance of causing food poisoning. Once poisoned, you will notice that your hunger meter turns green and floating green bubbles will appear around you. You can cure your poisoning by drinking a bucket of milk. Rotten Flesh cannot be cooked and is not used in any crafting recipes. Rotten flesh heals Wolves without poisoning or causing damage to them.
