Did you know you can stop rabies by having someone chop your head off?

That's probably the preferred treatment over dying of rabies induced violent psychosis.

No, you amputate the torso, it's different

I spit my drink out to this comment. Thank you

If it were a legitimate tetanus infection, the body has ways of shutting it down.

Oh great, a "sovereign organism" movement...

It’s best if you post that on Facebook for all to share.

Share this post with five people and tetanus will seize infecting you.

I just imagined one these people getting paper cut and intentionally forcing it too bleed like a garden hose.

It is the same about things that are known to cause cancer. If you just ignore it long enough you don't have to worry about anything.

So you are saying that they are protected for the rest of their life?

Just start squeezing those arteries like tube of toothpaste

I mean, it makes some sense if you get bitten by a snake, since its poison is not literally everywhere around you (hence why in older time they try to suck it out as much as possible). But the problem for viruses is that as soon as you stop gushing out blood, the bacteria/viruses nearby the wound will try to enter the bloodstream anyway

edit: or the fact that the veins are a one way, therefore if the virus is already inside, and you let blood out, you let out the blood which is clean. Or the fact that once inside, the virus might already be infecting cells and therefore is out of the bloodstream. or....

shame 🔔

Nono, you're fine doing that, just make sure you're bleeding hard enough so that the manure can't get in the bloodstream.

Best idea, just get rid of ALL the blood.

Can't have. Bloodborne disease if you have no blood.

The fun police are everywhere

If the immune system was so amazing, why didn't it destroy the silly inside their brain?

Valid conclusion, I'm cancelling my health insurance rn. More money for scratchers, hell yeah!

Cos not every attack comes from a bleeding injury. Joking of course. This guy is nuts.

My last tetanus shot hurt for 3 weeks straight. But I ended up not breaking my spine with muscle convulsions, so I think it's a pretty good trade off.

It's not chemicals that protect from tetanus; it's the dead tetanus bacterium the vaccine contains that train the immune system to recognize the threat.

I whish I was so confident in anything.

At some point I feel like we should just let these people conduct their own health experiments, the problem will take care of on itself. You can only try your best at educating people but if they choose to be stupid there is nothing you can do.

Still, if you sat down with a bleeding ass in contaminated water, you’re still going to get infected.

Not to mention... sharks!

Hypertension special secret capability unlocked: infection invulnerability!

It's like only doing the first step of CPR.

A: "You got to lay them on their back."

B: "And then?"

A: "No that's it."

B: "Isn't there chest compressions or something involved?"

A: "Nope, chest compressions are dangerous and cause people to break bones. Plus almost 100% of people who were not laying on their backs ended up dying after their heart stops. So, laying someone on their back is all you need to do."

Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating when propaganda uses partially true information to push their agenda. From a first aid perspective, letting the wound bleed a bit and get oxygen exposure can reduce the initial infection. You should absolutely get the vaccine though because why fucking risk it?

edit: here is more than you ever need to know about tetanus: https://www.cdc.gov/...

Ah right, and that's why people think it's related to rust. Because most people getting a puncture would probably got it by standing on a nail, which was out in the elements and thus rusty…

Just cut it off and let the virus bleed away

Tetanus is a horrible way to go, even for anti-waxx'ers and even worse if it's their kids. Who have little to say in the matter.

I can get on board with the cocaine and laudanum. Not so much the mercury and bloodletting.

We've been on that path for a bit now.

Although bloodletting is still an actual treatment for stuff, but now it's called therapeutic phlebotomy. (source, I have to do it for high blood count)

And no one with an immune system has ever died of an infection ever.

Sorry wrong. Can't have lock jaw if you only leave it unlocked. Human body amazung

I mean, let Darwin do Darwin.

Problem is their, "experiment," is resulting in the return of previously eradicated diseases.

Letting cuts bleed for a bit is a good idea though since it does actually clean the wound.

more* dumber

That's for pansies.

You can buy warfarin off the shelf in the form out pest poison.

If you wanna set a world record for death by blood loss, that's the way to do it.

Remember kids:

All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.

—Paracelsus, 1538

Often condensed to "The dose makes the poison."

Also, death by warfarin overdose is a slow, bloody, painful way to go. Don't self medicate with fucking rat poison or anything stupid.

Was there aspirin in the age of bloodletting?

I've felt the hate rise up in me...

Cytotoxic drugs are poison. They keep me alive.

Salmons just don't know better. If they went to fish school, they would be unable to do it!

Assuming you're actually asking. It's a disease caused by a bacteria in the soil when it gets in your blood stream.

People often think it's caused by getting stabbed or cut with rusty metal but it's just correlation rather than causation. Something metal that's been sitting outside is just usually the way that you'll get cut and if it's outside it's probably rusty.

You could have clean rusty metal not give it to you, and brand new metal or a stick give it to you.

Tetanus is also known as "Lockjaw" due to the symptoms.

It's preventable by a mildly uncomfortable vaccine that everyone acts like is the most painful shot ever.

I think the dude there already has idiot tetanus, or maybe it's idiot headanus.

No, Darwin didn't, in fact he rightfully rejected so called "social Darwinism" because it's nothing but eugenicist bunk.
