GLP Effect User ID: 73130711 United States 04/20/2017 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can ear infections kill you if left untreated? I've had a few of those as a kid. I've dislocated my knee cap three times and have schizophrenia so I would be an insane cripple. I probably would've died of starvation 15 years ago.

People that lived into their 50s and 60s were thought to be wise. It had a lot to do with personal hygiene I'm sure. A man that kept his teeth clean probably lived much longer than a man who did not. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72123431 United States 04/20/2017 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Same here with the ear infection, only time I've ever recieved medical attention for something that would have not gone away on it's own without major problems. And according to the internets, worst case scenario would have been some hearing loss. So I guess I would have made it up till this point. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69265240 Anytime you have had an infection you could not shake, a bad injury, or situation that required the ER, chances are, 300 years ago it would have killed you. I think it's about a dozen times in my life, from the croop when I was 10 months old, shattering my right elbow in 1994, and the last one was a bad sinus infection. I've done genealogical research and have not found this to be true at at all. |
