All you have to do is tell the tetanus “I do not consent,” and by law, it cannot infect you.
Oh great, a “sovereign organism” movement…
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?

That’s probably the preferred treatment over dying of rabies induced violent psychosis.
I wonder what it’s like to be in a rabies induced violent psychosis. Also why it’s like while you’re still somewhat sane, but fear water.
I hear you get banned from hydrohomies
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.
I just imagined one these people getting paper cut and intentionally forcing it too bleed like a garden hose.
I mean, it happens in the totally accurate documentary Evil Dead so it should work
I hope this person learns by first hand how, for instance, AIDS is transferred.
I recommend 1g of aspirin and a good bloodletting.
Ok I’m gonna stop grabbing cow manure with bleeding hands.
Nothing is allowed anymore :(
Best idea, just get rid of ALL the blood.
Can’t have. Bloodborne disease if you have no blood.
Bleeding is just weakness leaving the body
The fun police are everywhere
Stop cancelling me!
Nono, you’re fine doing that, just make sure you’re bleeding hard enough so that the manure can’t get in the bloodstream.
Alright, give this guy an old fashioned blood letting with some leeches when he’s feeling under the weather.
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.
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/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/tetanus.html
I wish there was just a button you could push to make people feel shame.
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!
Letting cuts bleed for a bit is a good idea though since it does actually clean the wound.
You just have to make sure you bleed faster than the bacteria or whatever can swim in.
Just start squeezing those arteries like tube of toothpaste
I can imagine the guy just pumping out his own blood like crazy laughing hysterically “You can’t poison me you fools!”
Darwin used to call it “Natural selection”, now we call it “Being confidently incorrect”
No, Darwin didn’t, in fact he rightfully rejected so called “social Darwinism” because it’s nothing but eugenicist bunk.
I don’t think the person you replied to was talking about social darwinism
From your article…
The core idea of Social Darwinism is that the wealthy and powerful enjoy the privileges they do because they are more fit in terms of the traits favored by natural selection. The poor and powerless have less fit traits and therefore it is best to let them perish …
This reprehensible (and bullshit) ideology is distinct from the idea of a person making an unsafe decision like golfing on a mountain in a thunderstorm that directly causes them to die.

That’s literally ableism (and classism) and eugenics.

They are not distinct in any way shape or form, that’s just a rephrasing of that first quote of yours, and another way to say it (that most people use today) is “st.pid people shouldn’t breed” (or, because I predict you being a pedantic ass - “haha that st.pid person died without reproducing, lets give them an award!!1”), demonstrating exactly how inseparably intertwined eugenics (which is literally, and of course, incorrectly, but still, absolutely based on Darwin’s theory) and ableism are in the bullshit premise of the so called “Darwin awards”, which I am well aware the person I replied to was referencing, and which don’t provide you with the excuse or justification you thought they would (to give yourself permission to continue supporting them?), and you trying to ablesplain this shit to me just goes to show how little you actually understand of the subject.
And if you genuinely believe any of that “justification” you wrote, you yourself are an ableist eugenicist, and if you don’t like hearing that, stop acting like one, and you won’t get called it again.
I appreciate the explanation. I apologize. I will take this to heart.
America - it’s dumber here.
more* dumber
The dubmerest
Wait, why do I even need an immune system if the bloodletting keeps the bad spirits out anyway?
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.
