How a tiny cut on your finger could cost you your life

Those who have shitty immune systems more likely to die of sepsis.

Your immune system needs practice, so cut yourself frequently and don't worry.

If this thread doesn't scream DOOM, then nothing will!

TINY CUT DOOOM!!!

nice try- neosporin shill

i had a cut cuticle that infected my finger. usually these little infections clear up after a couple days. this one didn't and began to spread down my finger to the second joint, that's when i went to the doctor.
he cut the infection and squeezed my finger to get all the pus out. it hurt!

the end result is that the infection went away but the size of my swollen finger never returned back to normal. it's almost 1/3 size bigger than my other finger. too weird.

so i could see how a cut finger could lead to death.

Let me tell you a true story about immunization ok. When I was a little boy in New York city in the nineteen-forties, we swam in the Hudson river. And it was filled with raw sewage! OK? We swam in raw sewage, you know, to cool off. And at that time the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids died from polio every year. But you know something? In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one! EVER! You know why? Cause WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune system, the polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw shit!

George Carlin, brother. Tempered by shit is the way to go!

Every square inch of your skin has probably 50,000 deadly bacteria on it. Never be presumptuous about any wound no matter how small.
