"Never rub your eyes" next week, dont breath and no more sleeping

[KingRemaker]

Thankfully I'm not a doctor, so I can do these things if I want.

[Socially_strange]

I have already faced the consequences of rubbing my eyes 😭

[Mayakran]

Reminds me of when I was waking up from general anesthesia and started aggressively rubbing my eyes. The nurse pulled my hands away and told me “we don’t want you tearing your corneas off.” lol

When bringing home my 4lb baby from the hospital. I had a 2.5 hr drive from Oakland hospital to home with an ultra preemie in the back seat. That car ride took me 4 hours as I kept pulling over to gas stations every 10-15 mins to get out and check on him. Before he left the childrens hospital he had to do a carseat travel test. They put him in his special carseat ( as most carseats only hold 6lbs + I had to get a special carseat that was rated for babies under 6lbs) they then put his carseat on this machine while hooked up to his vital machine for monitoring. They did this carseat test 5x over 3.5 days before I could take him to make sure he could handle the trip. Thank God he was healthy enough to make it home. 🙏 it was definitely nerve racking for me. But he's 4 now and you'd never know he was 2lbs 9 oz & 12 ¾in long at birth (dropped down to under 2lbs after birth) came home a month after birth at 4lbs 2oz and today is now over 40lbs. 😂 very blessed after everything. But I'm not a certified Dr. So guess I was able to do it. I'm only a self perclaimed WebMD mom M.D jk. 😂

The rubbing the eyes thing... yeah. I got keratoconus. I had to have a "non-invasive" surgery on my eye while awake. It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life and recovery was terrible. While scraping off the top of my eye to apply the solution, he told me to grab onto something because it was going to be awful. He was right.

[EMedNation]

Physician here. Surprised as a physician you think rubbing your eyes is harmful.

[brookcosby]

I HAD to sleep in a carseat after when I was 5wks old I had rsv. I would've died if it wasn't for my parents putting me in that carseat, also I was only minutes from dying when my pediatrician told my mom on 3 separate occasions I was fine, she had to call the nurse hotline and the nurse didn't even tell her how many breaths I was breathing per minute, all my mom was told to do was rush me to ER, doctors told her I was a "miracle" upon arrival and I was recovered by the 3rd day I was able to go home.

I got a bad nail fungus from a Thai fish tank. Upon further thought it's impossible to sterilize living animals so they'll spread infections from person to person.

[bromque]

I eat dry chia seeds all the time... it is fine. I am mindful of the expansion, so i just eat small amounts intermittently. That man ate a bunch of chia seeds and then immediately downed a glass of water*. That is an important distinction. Don't do THAT and you should be fine.

[SageandStoneHomestead]

We moved 7 hours away when my son was 5 days old. We definitely drove for 2 hour stretches between nursing sessions. Make sure their seat is at the proper incline and they are properly supported and they are most likely fine.

[blueman]

Never rub your eyes? I don't believe a doctor has never rubbed your eyes. He's either lying about being a doctor or lying about rubbing his eyes.

Rabies is bad no matter where you are, just because someone lives in a developed country doesn’t mean they stand a chance if they let it go too far aka “they’ll wait for the symptoms to show up, otherwise they’re famous last words 😢 be careful out there pls 🙏🏽

[jans_]

need more information about the spa fish.

[orchdork]

You should have mentioned that if you get bitten/scratched by a wild animal or pet that hasn't been vaccinated against rabies, then you need to get the rabies vaccine asap in order to prevent the symptoms from starting. It's also important to notify animal control if you have reason to believe an animal has rabies or has been exposed, so they can either vaccinate the animal before the symptoms start or euthanize it to prevent the spread (at least in the U.S. that's what you are supposed to do.)

My childhood dog accidentally bit me as a child, and she had to be held in quarantine for 10 days to see if she had rabies. Apparently, it's easier to moniter the animal than to just test the person, though I'm not sure why. So yea, rabies is a big deal and everyone needs to be educated on it to ensure they always see a doctor if they are bitten or scratched by an animal.

[milootis]

the eye rubbing one, I NEEDED THIS WARNING YEARS AGO

[ramieyon]

My grandparents lived in an underdeveloped village in soviet union and brought a fox that they thought was confused by being hit by a car to a vet station. The fox ended up being rabid and since their education levels were pretty low they didn't know rabies was a thing. They were unharmed luckily.

[lorieyoung]
