How to reduce debuff chances

[Riamus]

Can anyone point me to where in A21 that I can edit the chance for a zombie attack to add a debuff?  Right now, almost every hit results in a bleed debuff so unless you're constantly crafting a ton of bandages you're just going to keep dying repeatedly because of bleeding.  I can't even play the game right now because it's so frustrating.  I think they increased all debuff chances by a LOT but the bleed is the worst.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have a feeling they won't reduce it themselves. Thanks.

Thank you.  I'll keep this handy.  Starting a new game seems to have changed the frequency of debuffs back to normal so it was either just really horrible RNG or else that save was bugged in some way.
