Red beads

The  is an artifact found in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"Relatively toxic beads with somewhat good effects despite its deadliness. Most stalkers sell these like they do with other beads."

- Inventory description

"Born in the 'Burner' anomaly. Much about this artifact remains a complete mystery to scientists. At the same time, it is known for certain that emissions produced by pulses in its thicker sections force blood in open wounds to clot quicker, forming a protective scab. One of the most noticeable effects of this artifact is the increased speed of bleeding control. Emits radiation."
