“Moving Water”: 35 People Share Things People Might Not Realize Are Really Dangerous

It doesn't get much higher than 1.

#3 now.

Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before exposure to UV in order to create the intended protective barrier. It should be applied liberally and evenly to clean and dry skin. For an adult, the recommended application is 5mL (approximately one teaspoon) for each arm, leg, body front, body back and face (including neck and ears). That equates to a total of 35mL (approximately seven teaspoons) for a full body application. And reapplied every two hours - to cool dry skin

All year around, if that wasn't already obvious from the "always". Especially when skiing, snow is brutal.

Or don't stay in the sun if you don't have to.

My dad told me that it's nO big deal because I'm black, Is it true?

Always seems a bit much. Some of them have chemicals I would not wear always against skin. And the northern hemisphere is sunny for like two-three months, so wearing sunscreen during minus degrees would just have you get ice bitten as the first layer of chemicals freezes on skin 🧐

Absolutely agree. And I have to admit that it happened to me once (Edit: when I was around 21 and thought that tiredness was an older people's issue) - on the German Autobahn. It was a really, really long day and at 2 am I had to drive back 120 km to my parents' as I was about to get picked up there the next morning to go on a holiday... Long story short, I drove, feeling absolutely tired, my eyes were burning from keeping them open. I blinked and instead still driving in the right lane, I've already crossed the middle lane, now being in the left lane and heading straight towards the middle safety railing. Could correct my course in the last second! Luckily the highway was pretty deserted, so nobody (including me) got harmed. Never again!

Okay.

A friend crashed that way. Luckily everyone survived, but there were broken bones

Welcome to the nightshift rotation

What is it in bananas?

Thank you

I kid you not, I only got that because I read somewhere that this is the average d!ck size, so now I know that 1 d!ck deep of water can kill you!

For those who still count on their fingers.

I had an emergency csection with my first. Neither of us would be here today if I hadn't had one!

My son would've died if I wasn't at the hospital for birth. His heart rate was dropping on the heavy contractions, so they rushed me in for a c- section.

ME ME!! 24 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing, vacuum attempt and then C-section. We would have been dead if we had been born before modern medicine.

I would have died if my mom didn’t have a C-section

My kid would not be here without a c section

No kids but both my sister and nephew would have died.

Me. If I had been born in a earlier era or underdeveloped country, childbirth would have killed me and my beautiful son.

(Raises hand.) I gave birth in 1985 and hemorrhaged severely. Had they not been able to stop the bleeding I would have died in childbirth. And in 1985, AIDS was still not understood, so they wouldn't give me any blood - just saline solution and iron pills.

I would have. My head was too big. My mom was in labor for more than 24 hours before they finally did a c-section.

My mom and also my sister

For a short time I thought this was “The European Mind Can’t Comprehend This”, and was wondering if this was due to the cost. Before realising that it refereed to the dangerous surrounding it. 🤦‍♂️ (at me)

My daughter would have died without me having a Caesarean section. I only got to 4cm dilated, and kiddo's heartbeat was becoming irregular and she was getting really tired. Had an emergency section at 2.05a.m. My sis jokes that instead of saying 'happy birthday', we should be saying 'happy removal day!'. (We don't actually say that, it's just a private joke between me and sis)

I almost died because they didn't get me stitched up properly after my emergency c-section.

Me and my kiddo! My doc said even 10 years before - kid is 20 now-so 30 years ago we both would have died and almost did at his c-section. Scary times.

I would have probably survived, but my daughter wouldn't.

I'm one of them.

My niece almost died during labor; they did an emergency c-section, but it was still touch anf go for both her and my great nephew for a couple of days.

Many

Me.

I think that’s why my mom got a c section

I'm one!

Me! Well I wouldn't have died, my daughter would have. After three hours of pushing and making zero progress, she started to go into fetal distress. Up until that point I was determined to "go natural". The doctors said she needs to come out now, and within a matter of minutes my 10lb 5 oz daughter entered the world.

My mom and I both almost died.

72 hours of labor, my heart dropped, baby heart dropped So into surgery we went. Terrifying, but so blessed we had the intervention

Me. Son got stuck. In the birth canal. Took 4 Dr's. to convince me I needed the surgery.

Eating at McDonald's can also lead to toxic gas in the room.

This sort of reminds me of that Roald Dahl book—George’s Marvellous Medicine 😭

Reading it and paying attention to it are two very different things. And the fact that one cleaning products cleans, so two cleaning products will clean twice as well.

Yeah I was up for two days and was emotional and physically wrecked.

And if the two opinions don't agree, get a third one. Someone close to me recently died precisely because she didn't do this.

especially back surgery

Unless it's emergency surgery like for my ruptured appendix. Then you don't really have time to hunt down second opinion

Sometimes you really do need the surgery though.
