20 Popular Survival Myths That Not Only Are Wrong But Also Dangerous, Shared By People On Twitter

Because you live without thinking about it every day, you might not know how you could protect yourself from these dangers. On the other hand, you might have read some tips, but never actually had to apply them, so you don’t know if they are even valid.

I've always found it weird in movies where someone is lost/stranded/ trapped and the first thing they worry about is starvation. No one even mentions the need for a safe, steady water supply despite the fact a human can last weeks and weeks without food but only a few days without water.

Growing up near the coast I carried grocery store meat tenderizer in my tackle box. Dashing good bit over the sting seemed to help

You're driving on a desolate highway in the prairies. There are no buildings in sight but there's an overpass a few meters away, and a tornado bearing down. Not a lot of options here.

Don’t put something between the teeth of someone having a seizure. You have a good chance of chipping their teeth and then they would aspirate the shard.
