Someone Asked Medical Professionals What Everyday Things Make Us Sick, And These 35 Are Scary
Interview
"Never trust the Internet with health advice," people say. When I think of how many times a visit to WebMD has given me a cancer scare, I'd agree. 54% of American consumers say they see food and nutrition content on their feeds regularly.
Yet Baby-Boomers are the most skeptical: only 59% trust the food and nutrition content on social media, compared to 71% of Gen X, 68% of Millennials, and 76% of Gen Z.
One netizen wanted to hear from true medical experts on the internet about the everyday things we need to look out for if we want to stay healthy. So, they decided to ask: "Medical professionals, what are some of the most mundane reasons most people are unaware of that make them sick?"
And the medical professionals of Reddit delivered, reminding us why such simple habits like brushing our teeth, washing our hands, and taking our meds are so important.
Bored Panda got in touch with the netizen who addressed the medical professionals of Reddit. r/chickencaesar8 kindly agreed to share his thoughts on healthy living with us. Read our short conversation below!

Psych nurse here. Don’t stop your meds because you’re “feeling better”. Why do you think you feel better.
In the age of the internet, lots of people look for health advice online. The CDC reports that 58.5% of Americans admitted looking for medical information online in 2022. R/chickencaesar8 tells Bored Panda that one of the reasons he started this thread was because of his partner's recent health issues.
"Lately, my partner has been getting these itchy rashes all over his body and we don't know where they're coming from," the Redditor shared. He says that he often turn to Reddit to find out the answers to random questions or ideas when there's no one else who could answer them.
"I also think that medical professionals will have better knowledge in answering the question through their expertise/experiences in their field," r/chickencaesar8 says in regard to this particular thread.

Finishing antibiotics.
Always finish the full course you are prescribed. You think k you are better. But the bacteria may not be dead and it’s gonna come back stronger.

People don’t realize how their partners make them mentally sick.
With so much information available to us, we might think that we're more health-conscious than ever. For example, when it comes to nutrition, 77% of Americans claim they would like to be eating healthier.
r/chickencaesar8 doesn't spend that much time thinking about his health. "I have never considered myself health-conscious as I enjoy eating all kinds of food though I always know when to stop," he shares.
"I guess I consider myself a sensible eater. I also do not smoke, I drink enough water and sleep around eight hours a day."

Ok so this is not related to sickness but injury - after a certain age (different for everyone) you should get rid of every slippery pair of socks, uneven area rug, or any other tripping hazard in your house. It's very easy to trip and fall in the dark trying to get to the bathroom and a lot of people have major complications trying to recover from a broken hip or other leg injury. Small trip hazards in your house may not seem like a big deal, but they could lead to an injury that you never recover from and it's a very common problem.

If you have sudden unexplained weight loss PLEASE go get checked out. I can not begin to count how many people (especially middle aged and older) I've triaged for some other symptoms drop a random 'oh yeah and I've lost xx amount of lbs in a month' and more often than not it turns out to be CANCER. You're not turning into a skinny legend, it's cachexia 😭.
"My partner and I love going for walks, play badminton occasionally and play board games. I would say we have a relationship that's full of laughter, nice conversations, adventures with a bit of drama every now and then," r/chickencaesar8 adds.
If you think the habits the Redditor listed don't count as a healthy lifestyle, think again! A 2023 study of lifestyle behaviors identified the healthy habits that can prolong our lives by 24 years.
And what are those magical tips? Mostly things we've all probably heard before: a healthy diet, regular exercise, less stress, getting enough sleep, and positive social relationships.

Listening to influencers who are not medically trained.
I’ve watched ads on TikTok where an influencer will pour two packs of liquid iv into a cup to make a new flavor. Or whatever the hell the raw milk and unpasteurized nonsense is. You can’t lemon and cayenne water your way out of hyperlipidemia, but you can erode your gastric lining.

NOT a medical professional but so far there's been three entirely unrelated people in my life who have casually gone Pants On Head Crazy and then found out they had black mold in their homes.
For the love of god, if you start noticing somebody's lost the plot, lovingly convince them to do black mold testing. If it's not that, their thyroid may have gathered its little coat and hat and suitcase and headed out the door.

Leaving a tooth infection without treatment. It can cause so many bad things.
Snazzy Smurf 7 months ago
Tooth infections are more serious than many realize. They can't always be resolved by only pulling the infected tooth.
R/chickencaesar8's thread did reveal some things some of us do that may cost us our health in the long run. For the Redditor, the answer about men not wiping was the one that stood out the most.
This may surprise you, but even a quite recent YouGov poll showed that not all people wipe with toilet paper after a bowel movement. 86% of the respondents said they always use toilet paper. 14% claimed they go for wet wipes. Let's just hope everyone uses one or the other every time!
#10
Not drinking water. So many people feel like s**t but only drink coffee, Coke, and Corona. People like this live live on a onife edge of minor dehydration where the tiniest bit of exertion feels impossible. If you actually drink the water your body needs, it fixes all sorts of minor issues.

I drink so much water I might as well be a cucumber. I think it's the only thing keeping me alive. 😆

If your toes start turning black from untreated diabetes, it’s not going to get better on its own, it will only continue to get worse, and lead to irreparable damage including the loss of the foot entirely.
idk if people also realize that aspirating things (something “going down the wrong tube” as most people say) causes pneumonia.
also idk if this counts but i can say that after multiple months doing xray at an inner city level 1 trauma hospital, i will never ever get on a motorcycle, four wheeler, atv, dirtbike, none of that. nope no thanks im good.

Pharmacy technician here. Don't stop taking your blood pressure meds. If your blood pressure is good, now is not the time to stop your meds. They are working.
So, Pandas, let's all wash our hands, brush our teeth, floss, finish our meds, and wipe after going to the toilet! That way, we can live healthier and, hopefully, longer lives.
If we have any medical professionals here among our fellow Pandas, be sure to share any mundane things that make people sick in the comments, too!
#13
1. Drinking. Cirrhosis is very very mean.
2. Wash. Your. Hands. I don’t mean a little squirt of soap and then immediately rinse it off, I mean the whole 20 seconds. Noro/sapovirus, C. Diff, trust me, you don’t want it.

I’ve had so many male patients with rectal problems because they will not wipe after using the bathroom. One guy told me it’s gay to touch your butt. Another said he just don’t do that wipe thing. Another said he didn’t care. Totally preventable disease state.
#15
Derm PA here- please moisturize your skin. Wearing lotion is not only a “girly” thing to do. Dry skin can lead to itchy skin, which can lead to chronically itchy skin, which can lead to intense scratching and can leave open wounds and sores.
Itchy skin can drive a person bonkers. I see it everyday. The easiest way to prevent this is to wear lotion.
Vincent Bevort 7 months ago
Sorry to inform you all “Knowing better” commenters, Dry skin IS an issue when you grow older. Better prevent it before it is too late! It has nothing to do with now mush soap you use, Most soaps contain some fat to re-moister your skin during washing.

Vaping. I have pts that repeatedly see allergists/pulmonary bc they “don’t know why i’m wheezy all the time and it feels like i can’t breathe.” Nasal sprays, antihistamines, allergy pills, 3-4 different nebs…all while denying they vape. It’s gross.
#19
Not following a doctor's advice to cut something from your diet. For example, people who say, 'Doc told me to stop eating gluten and dairy. So I had pizza for dinner, but it’s ok because i took a lactaid.' Just..no. That’s not how that works. That’s not how any of that works.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 7 months ago
My mother is like this. She had an ulcer and the doctor told her to cut acidic foods from her diet. She will still chow down on tomatoes, lemons (literally, she eats the lemon flesh whole), and she drinks watermelon juice. Watermelons are surprisingly acidic and they were up towards the top of the list the doctor gave her of "foods to avoid". But she claims that since she hates coffee and alcohol (also near the top of the list), she's "fine" because she "doesn't" consume those. Sigh. It's honestly only a matter of time before the ulcer perforates again (or she gets a new one.)

I had a Type 1 diabetic patient in medical school who stopped taking her insulin because it would help her lose weight quickly.
Her chronic high blood sugars instead shut her kidneys down and blinded her in one eye. .

1. Alcohol
2. Obesity
3. Indiscriminate over the counter supplement use
4. Motorcycles
5. Not wearing a helmet
6. Not treating your high blood pressure because “you feel fine.”
7. Not taking care of your teeth
8. Poverty.

Untreated sleep apnea is absolutely terrible for you. Over time it can lead to heart problems, diabetes, stroke, and even shorten your lifespan, to say nothing of what chronic lack of quality sleep can do for your immediate mental and psychological health. Snoring all night every night is not normal. Get over yourself and use the CPAP.
Forrest Grump 7 months ago (edited)
I somewhat disagree. Get good medical advice and don't assume you need a CPAP (although some people might need it). I effectively treated my sleep apnea by sleeping in an adjustable bed (with the head end up a little). Then over time I was able to lose my belly fat, and that ended my sleep apnea.
#23
Swimming with contacts in. Every time I dispense fortified vancomycin and gentamicin (compounded by our IV room, strong antibiotic) eyedrops, in the chart it turns out that the patient was swimming with contacts in. They get super nasty infections.
#24
Not being especially cautious as you get older. About 15 years ago, when I became a nurse's assistant, the nurse teaching the course told us that for many elderly people, a fall was the beginning of the end. Small falls that younger people deal with constantly can break a bone in an older person, and their body has to fight harder to heal when they're older, which overdrives the immune system and makes it easier to get sick in other ways.
#25
Do NOT let your dog lick an open wound! Their mouth is full of bacteria, they don't have "clean mouths" like we were told when we were kids. Also, please take your meds before coming to the hospital. Just let us know what you took. No reason to skip your BP meds... Bathroom injuries yall... I cannot tell you how many people come to the ER because they vasovagaled
on the toilet pushing too hard. ALSO make sure your toys have flared bases :D.
#26
Pay attention when something changes or something new happens. Even minor issues that don’t go away or continue to get worse should always warrant a trip to the doctor.
I’m a medical student and I put off going to the doctor for embarrassing urinary symptoms for 6 months. I finally saw someone a couple weeks ago and they think I may have MS. I’m so mad at myself that, if I do have MS, I could’ve started treatment months ago and prevented ongoing nervous system damage.

The cost of medical care in the United States (even with medical insurance) is one reason people put off seeing a doctor.
#27
I work at a dentist, people improperly taking or prematurely stopping antibiotics. When people start but don't finish antibiotics (usually because they feel better), the surviving infection grows resistant to those antibiotics, so future courses become inefficient or don't work at all.
#TAKE THE WHOLE COURSE.
Infections in your teeth and jaw have a short path to your brain, and leaving that infection untreated (especially if it's asymptomatic or not causing pain) can cause bone loss, which can very much detrimentally impact things like implants and even your jaw strength.
Lowrider 56 7 months ago
My infection led to a hole in my jawbone that required a bone graft to repair.

Not necessarily sick but long car rides without breaks can absolutely cause blood clots, which can possibly lead to a pulmonary embolism if left untreated.

Poor social support and relationships. D**g misuse and abuse not thinking they’re abusing. Never opening their blinds or sitting in the sun.
#32
Just because the health condition is common in your family, doesn’t make it “normal” to have that condition.
eg young woman from a family all living with type 2 diabetes, gets diagnosed with gestational diabetes and pretty much ignores it because it’s “normal” in her family.
She’s told over and over to monitor her BGLs and keep them under x level with the insulin etc she’s been prescribed, as high sugars are not only harmful to her but also to her fetus. Lots of education given on all of this and specifically told that her baby could die if she’s not vigilant.
Still does her own thing and to no one’s surprise: stillbirth.
So senseless and avoidable.
QueerAxolotls 7 months ago
This is a huge thing. For example, autism runs in my family apparently (it's not a serious condition but it works for this example). I did not get diagnosed until I was a teenager because my mother had never gotten any support/diagnosis, nor had her mother, so everyone thought it was just normal.
#33
High humidity in a house causes mold. Not changing the air filter on your HVAC regularly causes mold/high energy bills.
#34
Consistently getting less than 7 hours of sleep, even if it's 6.5 hours, is enough to suppress your immune system. This is because deep sleep is extremely important for T-cell function, the cells that seek out and destroy infected cells and cancer. Chronic short sleep leads to more frequent infections and it also takes longer to recover.
#35
Not washing hands before touching and eating food. Wanna grab those chips, wash your hands with soap and water or use a sanitizer.
#36
FOOD. Society does not understand food and what absolute s**t we are sold to put in our bodies. Instead of being educated about it, we just accept chronic illness and pharmaceuticals as the norm.
#37
Don’t put off seeing a Dr for a new concern. Had a pt utilize their health insurance really well - managed to dodge SEVERAL cancers from going berserk and only traded it for a few scars on their skin. Pretty amazing when you can catch stuff early and only need a surgery with no chemo.
Had many others put off stuff that k****d them or will be their demise soon. Probably could’ve had a good +10 yrs before leaving spaceship earth but alas. Anxiety/fear can get the better of us.
#38
YOU are the important piece of your healthcare team, they cannot do it without you. Please be an active participant, it improves your overall health.
Take the entire antibiotic prescription.
Do the PT. Do the homework PT gives you.
Wash your hands. WASH YOUR HANDS. Don’t touch your face or open wounds without washing your hands.
It’s okay to use assistive devices. Making a basic life task easier for yourself is not a moral failing or a lack of toughness. There are also really neat libraries of these types of devices.
- medical masks — humans are gross and many don’t have paid leave to be sick. Or they might be sick. Or getting a little allergy relief.
Bonus: Bring a second person to take notes or ask assigned questions if you feel overwhelmed or like it made sense at the time but no longer does when you get to the car — bring a reliable note taker! And bring reminders that you will understand when stressed.
#39
Long-term, low-grade stress.
Everyone focuses on large stressors/traumas/etc, and while yes, those are bad, being consistently stressed over a long period of time is worse. The epigenetic changes alone can be horrific, not even including the direct health concerns.

#40
Brush your teeth.
If you have a stomach bug or anything else that causes vomiting and diarrhea, try to keep up with fluids. Crackers or plain toast if you can, but especially water. You lose a lot more water through vomiting or diarrhea than you'd think. Broth, soup and tea are great ways to rehydrate your body. This goes doubly for children, people with illbesses and the elderly.
Check your b***s/testicles regularly for knots and lumps. If you are concerned check with your gp. Anybody can get breast cancer.
Same goes for moles. Any change in size/shape or sudden discharge? Get that checked out. And not just white folks. Anybody can get skin cancer, no matter the amount of melanin in your skin.
Animal bites and scratches should at least (!) rinsed under clean water, better yet apply disinfectant. If the area around it becomes red/warm/swollen go to urgent care. You don't want to lose a hand to a cat scratch.
Try to have some sort of sleep schedule and get around 7 to 8 hours of continuous sleep. Your future self will thank you.
#41
Stop changing your medications on your own. Please no.
The vast majority of the time, you’re just screwing yourself over. A small minority of the time, you’re putting yourself at serious risk of a devastating medical event.
Just don’t. For your own sake.
#42
Not following advice like reduce or cut out something in your diet or not exercising. Also, not keeping basic hygiene practices like washing your hands.
#43
Taking too much over-the-counter medication.
Taking more ibuprofen doesn't make the pain go away quicker, it kinda just destroys your kidneys over time. Dialysis is a life changing, expensive b***h of a treatment. You don't want it. If you find that you need to take ibuprofen consistently for 2 weeks, you need to see a doctor because ibuprofen isn't helping anymore and something could be wrong.
As for Tylenol, it's the most commonly overdosed medication. Tylenol breaks down into a byproduct that is toxic to your liver. This byproduct builds up when you take more than the prescribed dose. And this byproduct takes a LONG time to go away after it forms. Meaning more liver damage.
But wait, there's more. Unless you've been prescribed to do so by a doctor, you shouldn't need nexium/prilosec/omeprazole for more than a 2 week course. If your symptoms are still there after that, your doc should at least check you out and determine what is causing your heartburn symptoms.
Ace 7 months ago (edited)
Ibuprofen, in normal therapeutic levels, really doesn't cause kidney damage. There is a potential mechanism of action that can cause changes to liver enzyme levels, and some studies have found that it does do so to a small degree, so there's a theoretical small increase in risk of chronic liver illness with long term use (but not observed in population-level studies). Significant increased risk of acute liver injury starts to be evident at 4 or 5 times the maximum recommended dose; effects are almost immediately reversible once use is stopped. . . . So it's still regarded as one of the safest medications for long-term pain sufferers (myself included). . . . oh, and the comments about omeprazole are a little bizarre in this context, as it's used to reduce the likelihood of gastric problems caused by high doses of NSAIDS (like ibuprofen).
#44
Not a doctor.
My mother kept getting itchy eyes, scratchy throat.
Mom, your drinking stevia. You have a ragweed allergy. Stop drinking that..
She stopped and it was that.
It keeps happening periodically.
Mom, f*****g echinacia. Stop taking that. You're making yourself sick.
Mom, did you look at the label, this has stevia.
Maaaaam whyyyy.
Huddo's sister 7 months ago
Why does echinacea have stevia? More of a rhetoric question I guess, since I know many natural remedies/vitamins seem to have a sugar-free additive. I can't have a lot of artificial sweeteners, but the only gluten free fibre gummies I can buy have xylitol in them which is frustrating. I don't see why they need to be sweetened.
#45
Chronic reflux can cause cancer. Chronic throat clearing isn’t normal. Esp after eating
Snoring doesn’t =sleep apnea. It means you may stop breathing for periods when you sleep, which can cause heart enlargement, high blood pressure, clotting, stroke…..the list goes on. Wear the d**n CPAP
If your blood pressure is normal it doesn’t mean stop taking the BP meds. It means they are working.
A super high blood pressure isn’t just bc you are stressed/ anxious in the moment. That’s probably happening all the time off the monitor and it isn’t good.
A single EKG or a week long holter monitor that doesn’t show atrial fibrillation doesn’t mean you don’t have it- maybe it just didn’t catch it during that period.
These are just a few off the top.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 7 months ago
My ex snores horrifically badly and also does the "stops breathing for up to 15 seconds at a time" while asleep. I told him over and over about it. He says "I sleep just fine! I feel well-rested in the morning! I don't have a problem! It's not causing any issues because I'm not tired or exhausted or anything!" Okay, dudebro. Yet he routinely would lecture me on MY snoring and how I was keeping HIM awake. I went to do a sleep test and I have (somehow) both insomnia AND narcolepsy, along with mild sleep apnea. I have a CPAP machine. My ex still refuses to even acknowledge that his snoring/stopping breathing might be a health problem, even though he lectured me about MY snoring being a health problem.

Sleep hygiene
And don’t share clothing/ textiles, materials with people you don’t know.

Physician.
Diabetes man. It's such a difficult disease to manage for anyone but particularly when it afflicts lower socioeconomic status. Asking anyone to check their blood sugars 5x a day, manage multiple medications, take insulin, follow up with their physician every 3 months is difficult. Way worse when you don't have access to your medications, can't afford your medications, don't know what your medications do. On top of that.... most people don't feel their high blood sugars so surely "diabetes isn't causing it."
Leads to severe renal disease, blindness, diabetic foot ulcers (many people I see need amputations), severe neuropathy. But it's hard! and when life is hard on you, it makes diabetes even harder on you.
I wish I could say obesity because in my area of the United States, it affects dang near everyone. And it leads to so many untreated issues including obstructive sleep apnea leading to heart failure, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, metabolic syndromes, and even worse... inability to take care of yourself because you're so obese (think wounds that you are never able to clean). But no one wants to take accountability for their weight even when it does cause problems.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 7 months ago
Obesity and diabetes runs in my family. One of my cousins died aged 24 due to type 2 diabetes-caused kidney failure. One aunt had to have her feet amputated before dying of obesity/diabetes-related issues. Another aunt had an arm amputated due to diabetes-related gangrene. My little cousin, who is 38, has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease due to her obesity. Her mom, who is also obese, had a hernia-repair incision that DID NOT HEAL OR CLOSE for nearly 4 years due to the fact that layers of fat don't heal the same way skin/other tissue does. She eventually had to have a mesh implanted into the fat to hold the incision closed long enough for the external layers to heal. Best of all? She was an ER nurse for decades. Yet she is blinded to the damage that her obesity - and the "culture of food/obesity" that my culture/family has - is doing to her and her daughter. Her mother is the one who had the gangrenous arm amputated, so it's not like there is ignorance/inexperience going on.

Second mention of salt intake; interesting. I didn't personally give a s**t about salt intake until I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis (it's best to stick to reducing your salt intake as excess salt = increased fluid buildup). So many things you may not expect have so much salt in them. I feel sorry for people that don't like veggies/non red meat because you may well struggle.
