* Drinking {{favilink|honey}} or eating {{favilink|yuckwheat stem|plural}} have no interaction with {{name}}. They do not prevent it and they will not reduce the chances of it turning into a fungal infection.
* [[Cooking effects]] that grant a "75% chance that itchy skin doesn't develop into a fungal infection" (such as {{favilink|kyakukya|possessive}} [[Mulled Mushroom Cider]] or a custom recipe containing the {{favilink|freeze-dried hoarshrooms}} or {{favilink|pickled mushrooms}}) will work only if the cooking effect was present ''before'' the itchy skin effect was first applied. This cooking buff has no effect on existing instances of {{name}}.

== Removal ==
 
* Cooking with {{favilink|pickled mushrooms}} and {{favilink|fermented yuckwheat stem}} can yield one of two fairly reliable recipes to remove itchy skin. This is subject to random chance, but the [[Carbide Chef]] skill and the inspired buff should nearly guarantee your chances of getting one of the desired recipes with the effect "...you are immune to fungal spores for 6 hours."
* {{favilink|freeze-dried hoarshrooms}} may apparently also be substituted as a cooking ingredient.
* [[Cooking effects]] that grant a triggered effect of "...one of your negative status effects is removed at random" or "...all of your negative status effects are removed" can remove an existing {{name}} effect. You can potentially gain one of these cooking effects by cooking with {{favilink|starapple jam}}, {{favilink|congealed salve}}, or {{favilink|soul curd}}. You'll need to combine one of those ingredients with at least one other ingredient, and the metabolized effect gained by cooking may or may not be the one that can remove negative status effects.

* The physical debuff-removing effect of the [[Regeneration]] [[mutations|mutation]] can remove the {{name}} effect, and will almost certainly do so before it can develop into a [[fungal infection]], even at mutation level 1.

=== Reliable Removal Recipe ===
* Drinking {{favilink|honey}} or eating {{favilink|yuckwheat stem|plural}} has no interaction with {{name}}. They do not prevent it, and they will not reduce the chances of it turning into a fungal infection.
Taking the notes above into account, cooking with {{favilink|pickled mushrooms}} and {{favilink|fermented yuckwheat stem}} can yield one of two fairly reliable recipes to remove itchy skin. Cooking with these ingredients is still subject to random chance - having the [[Carbide Chef]] skill and the inspired buff should nearly guarantee your chances of getting one of the desired recipes, though.
