35 Times People Thought They Were Terribly Ill But Turned Out To Be Completely Fine

So, it was a bunch of hot air.

haha this reminds me of my first camping trip with my dad and brothers. We were eating banger sangas and I said that the bread tasted like citronella and that my tongue was a bit numb. They looked at me like I was an idiot and losing my mind. That was until my dad had his seconds and tasted it too. It turned out that the citronella had leaked all over our chopping board so when my dad was buttering the bread the citronella seeped in.

When I was a new baby my mom took me to the Dr because I wouldn't stop screaming. The doctor took my socks off and I was fine. There was a ring around my fat baby ankle where the sock was way too tight. She has told me she let me go sockless til I was getting ready to start walking and needed shoes because it scared her so bad.

Dads are the best!

they should have put some padding on the table.

Yep when I first discovered beetroot chips, loved them and ate a huge pack. Next day I thought I'd had some kind of haemorrhage!!!!! Literally thought I was dying

That could so be me! Once I got paranoid because my sight was completely blurry... realized that I had my lenses AND my glasses on.

LOL! I've been there with my cats. Turns out when a cat eats grass, the digestive system pulls out all the chlorophyll and they come out the other end looking like (to me at least) a whip worm.

It was kind of her to check though. You can never be too sure. I'm cracking up at "demon kitten" though.

Margaritavitis? That's cute!

Depends what scent the air freshener was. I would have ruled it out if my urine smelt like lavender. 🤣

That would have been so scary!!!

For those who would like to know, if you have a stomach bleeding your vomit looks like coffee grounds (because the blood gets partially digested)

makes sense initially.

Please tell me you weren't driving yourself to the hospital when you think you're about to have a heart attack. If you would have gotten one behind the wheel, you put even more people at risk.

Omg, this has happened so many times to me!!! Thought i was dying

I used to do that but my back didn't turn any colors

Not in hospital, just me as a kid in school. They send me to school psychiatrist with principal and my class teacher. Start telling me that injuring myself is bad and If I need some help with my mental health I should go and tell it they would help me.... Well they was just about to find out that I dont trim my cats claws and we played a lot, so that cuts on my hands are from her and not from some knife or something

But why wouldn't she wash it? If she thought it was a birthmark it wouldn't have gone away! I call bs on this one.

Still better to panic and assess and treat FAST in little kids....even if you feel a bit stupid later.

Since when do tongues turn black after drinking pepto bismol? I dont get it :/

soo.. he was full of sh*t i guess? :D

Well. Clothing shouldn't give off that much dye anyway. Can't be very healthy :)

Oddly, I've had the reverse of that. It hit in Russia - It was about -20C outside, and the place I was staying heated to a ridiculous 35C or so inside, so the temp difference was about 55C over a few seconds. My whole body came up in itchy, painful hives, and I felt awful until I got cold again.

Same thing happened to me with a birthmark on my face. Finally had it removed at 50. Done with people staring.

I was wearing boots with red fabric and they dyed my socks blood red after I had gotten them in the snow...

WHAT!!!! wearing jeans!!! I am no skier and know that is a recipe for cold injury.

When I’m in the shower, there’s one mark on the wall that I always think is a spider. It always gets me multiple times per shower.

Uggs are generally worn without socks!!

In the olden days, we would cold wash our new Levis and put white vinegar in the rinse cycle to set the dye...don't know if that would work with the current industrial dyes?

Always first Google what food can change your poo and pee colour.

You sure? I had a pulmonary embolism and everyone said I should have had a DVT first. Never noticed one. Maybe I just wrote it off as something else.... I'm honestly lucky to be alive. Sometimes it's really super important to listen to your body.

Smooooooke on the waaaaaater. ♬♪ (Sorry, I had to.)

This is an incomprehensible tweet. Sickle cell means a specific gene is broken, which gives a partial malaria-immunity by chance if you have one faulty gene, so there's some populations where it is on average beneficial even though it has a high mortality (in those with two faulty copies). Meaning it's far MORE COMMON (not exclusive) in black populations... And then there's enough lily-white people that turn out to be 1/8 or 1/16th black.
