Ant Nectar (Fallout: New Vegas)

Ant nectar is an consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Ant nectar is a naturally occurring substance secreted by giant ants. When consumed the nectar grants +4 Strength, but inflicts a penalty of -2 to Charisma and Intelligence. If taken in excess, you can get addicted to it, though the chance of addiction is very small. Taking 7 doses in a short amount of time is relatively safe, however the eighth dose will have a 100% addiction chance due to the usage monitor effect.

Bugs
