Top tier medical advice.

He's right. I kept the wound open and completely bled out. Lost all of my blood. But it's worth it because i didn't get Tetanus.

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

All you have to do is tell the tetanus "I do not consent," and by law, it cannot infect you.

He’s technically correct - if you bleed fast enough for long enough, you won’t get infected by anything that needs a live host to grow.

You just have to make sure you bleed faster than the bacteria or whatever can swim in.

Well the immune system is amazing. Their brain, not so much.

Ok I'm gonna stop grabbing cow manure with bleeding hands.

Nothing is allowed anymore :(

I wish there was just a button you could push to make people feel shame.

Wait, why do I even need an immune system if the bloodletting keeps the bad spirits out anyway?

Alright, give this guy an old fashioned blood letting with some leeches when he's feeling under the weather.

Tetanus is fucking terrifying. I'm happy to have chemicals to protect me from that.

People are just so confident in the bullshit they think is correct and have no proof of. It sounds right so it is. Must be.

They must be thinking that our body is like a municipal water system. The water is usually kept at high pressure so that if there's a leak or rupture, the water will gush out violently enough to prevent anything from contaminating the system for everyone else.

The key thing they're missing though is gushing violently. The body generally doesn't bleed vigorously enough to prevent foreign agents from getting in -- and most of the time when it does, you're having severe blood loss.

The only exception I think is around the anus. If you've had hemorrhoids you've seen just how much they can bleed, and I think that's to generally keep things out since it's an unclean area. Still, if you sat down with a bleeding ass in contaminated water, you're still going to get infected.

They're not entirely wrong, which is frustrating.

Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria which means exposure to air will kill it. If a cut is bleeding that means it's at least partially exposed and may prevent tetanus. The reason people tend to get tetanus infections from puncture wounds is because the wound heals up and seals out the air.

Also, letting a cut bleed for a bit is one way of flushing any foreign material from the wound, which can help. But you still need antibiotics and a bandage to reduce the risk of infection.

I hope this person learns by first hand how, for instance, AIDS is transferred.

Real "Magnets, how do they work? Its a miracle!" Energy

Don't correct them and just let nature run its course

oh so we're wrapping around to the 1820's now too

I'd like to see them say that when they have lock jaw

SICKNESS, BE GONE!

They're right, no one who has ever bled has died.

You know

You try and try to educate people but… idk maybe they should be allowed to conduct experiments if they’re willing to sign off on no medical treatment. Seems like a fair challenge to those who know so much.

I can't be the only person not totally dissapointed at how meth lab medical this person's advice is, but like fucking sad because there are three other people who liked this meaning there are more decimal bound IQ meatbags who would take this as solid advice.

That person's grade of stupid is not a freak one off. There are others!

America - it's dumber here.

At some point you stop bleeding Doogie Howser. If you're lucky that'll be before you run out of blood, in which case, according to your theory of medicine, you'll be infected anyway.

If it's after you run out of blood, well, infection wasn't your main problem.

I recommend 1g of aspirin and a good bloodletting.

No child left behind was a travesty

morons are everywhere

He's got a point there actually. You definitely don't need poison in your body. By definition, that might kill you if there's enough of it.

You're all taking it out of context. They said "soap and water", meaning you're supposed to keep bleeding until you can wash it with soap and water.

DO NOT wash it with cow manure

See? It makes perfect sense...

Inside my shell I wait and bleed

Nothing can enter your bloodstream if you just let it bleed.

Exactly. Just like how fish cannot swim upstream no matter how slow or fast the flow is.

Just give the idiot tetanus. Again and again.

It‘s technically correct, if you prevent your wound from stopping to bleed, you won‘t get ill. That is due to the fact, that you‘ll be dead.

What is tetanus

Darwin used to call it "Natural selection", now we call it "Being confidently incorrect"
