I was playing some night time survival and I thought about this (because it happened to me):
While fighting latex, if the player gets transfurred, they might hit the latex they were fighting after they get transfurred. Resulting in that latex fighting them again, dealing damage now.
Perhaps allow for nearby latex to forgive the player for a few seconds after transfur, so that if the player doesn't want to kill the latex in question, it doesn't accidentally attack them.
