Watching This Could Save Your Life. r/AskReddit Survival Tips

what knowledge might save your life one day if a canker sore in your mouth or on your tongue isn't healing in about two weeks it might not be a canker sore I'm going into surgery today and they will likely remove 100% of my oral cancer because of early detection holy crap best of luck if you ever get held at gunpoint and asked to get in a vehicle you fight with everything you've got to not do that run zig zag punch and kick do whatever even if you die in the process because 99% of the time people who get in the car do not come back especially if being moved from a public place to a private place if you happen to be walking near a downed power line do not take your feet off the ground this can create a potential between you and the ground and cause a discharge through your body but take small shuffling steps away without picking your feet up from the power line and call the authorities if you go swimming in a river always check the bottom before jumping in even if it is the same spot you have swum in before the bottom can be filled in with rocks and sediment during the spring also if you are swimming in a very deep gorge or quarry it is probably best not to jump in even though it seems super tempting there is sometimes a second current further down and lots of people drown by going too deep when they jump in and not being able to get back up if you're outside in a lightning storm and your hair starts floating seek immediate shelter you're about to be struck by lightning get a carbon monoxide detector for your home and regularly check to make sure it has fresh batteries yeah carbon monoxide poison is not fun one moment you're leaving notes everywhere as reminders next thing you know you're paranoid your landlord is out to kill you always slow down crossing a bridge during the winter they have no insulation and will freeze before other parts of the road spinning out on regular road as one thing on a bridge up in the air though when in an emergency situation tell someone to call 9-1-1 by pointing at them and say hey you in the descriptive church call 9-1-1 shock is a real thing and some people need to be delegated roles explicitly you there control the traffic around the scene run to the nearest library or mall and get a defibrillator you will see a sign of a heart with a lightning bolt through it delegate and be descriptive get them working for you okay all run to the mall be back in 30 minutes with the AED if you somehow find yourself so deep in a body of water that you can't tell which was as up blow bubbles and follow them up the human jaw combined with natural adrenaline is powerful enough to sever another human's jugular that would be horribly disgusting but very effective if you are deep frying something and the entire F pot is on fire do not put it out with water one turn off the gas electric range don't pour water on it to cover the pot with a lid don't pour water on it three if you don't have a lid dump baking soda on it don't pour water on it if you pour water on it your house might burn down and your face might melt if I am remembering correctly as well do not use flour in lieu of baking soda the small particles when dispatched into the air can cause an explosion calm people live in panic people die and sometimes panicking people take calm people down with them case in point drowning birch bark has flammable oil in it that lets you light a fire even if it's raining when someone shouts duck don't question it an F duck when I was young my dad yelled duck and I turned and said where and got hit in the face with a baseball glove it was straight out of a sitcom don't swim in Florida waterways at night dusk or dawn because t but if you should find yourself in the mouth of a hungry Gator don't go for the standard eye poke go for the nostril poke jamming your finger in their nostril breaks the seal they use to keep water out of their Airways when submerged and they will release you instantly just avoid Florida fresh water in general so you can stay clear of the brain-eating amoebas almost no one survives them fighting mental health sometimes requires medicine and counseling don't be too proud or scared to seek help there is no such thing as a fair fight if it's a life-threatening situation fight dirty attempt to bite if you are pinned down and press the base of your thumbs onto their eyes if necessary as soon as you get the opportunity run towards the nearest place with people around and report to the police obvious but often people view fighting as a boxing match oil fire plus water equals chaos this thread is making me very nervous there are no winners in bar fights you'll probably end up in jail or the earth and at the very least get kicked out of the bar just let it go walk away do not text and drive trust your gut if something doesn't feel right then move to the other side of the street or change direction or don't go down that dark alley that moans if there's a moaning dark alley I don't think you need your gut to know you shouldn't go there yell at a knife whisper at a gun if you yell at an attacker with a knife there is a small chance that could startle them and they drop it at the least you are attracting attention and can get out of the situation always whisper at someone with a gun or at least speak slowly and calmly if you yell that could startle them and you could get shot most weapons are used as intimidation so if it's your wallet they are after tuck calmly give them your wallet and back away slowly what are you going to do stab me thought I'd be on fire more often stop drop and roll as embedded in my brain as much as my knowledge of how to draw an F in cursive yeah but F is easily the most fun letter if a hostile dog is confronting you do not run it can outrun you and the minute you turn your back it'll see it as a sign of weakness and may attack instead keep eye contact with the dog and try to find something long like a branch or pole face the dog and start slowly backing in the direction you need to go while shouting at the dog if the dog comes at you hit its face with the branch and shout it will most likely back up out of the range of the stick use your phone to call for help if you can if you come into contact with a bat get a rabies shot as soon as possible bats have very small teeth and they can bite you without you ever knowing moreover bats are much more likely to bite around the head which means the rabies virus can reach your brain a lot faster than if say a dog bit you on the leg the virus is slow enough that you should have time regardless but don't ignore it and don't dally PS after the onset there is no cure for rabies that's why office saying not to dilly-dally cancer screenings can save your life if the doctor finds a polyp during your colonoscopy it can be removed to prevent it from turning into colon cancer if abnormal cells are discovered during a pap smear the cells can be destroyed to prevent them from turning into cervical cancer bring a small mirror or reflective item whenever you're going someplace or doing an activity where you could end up strand the shiny reflection from a mirror can signal rescue aircraft much more easily than most other methods if you want this to work it has to be a signal mirror that you know how to aim signal mirrors are remarkably effective trying to signal with a plain old mirror not so much always checking where the closest emergency exit on an airplane us same with packed concerts or events in dark venues it's good to take a quick scan to see where exits are in case something serious happens if you pull a weapon in self-defense use it immediately I've known a number of people to be seriously injured from hesitating also never burn poison ivy ever okay elaborate on that poison ivy personal experience kangaroos cannot jump backward I'm surprised this isn't higher but don't move someone after a serious head trauma you could potentially dislocate their spine causing a permanent vegetative state you're supposed to ask them to lay still until paramedics arrive and help them hold their head in place while crouching near their head with a hand on both sides of the head you're only supposed to move if there is an immediate danger like after a car accident and there's a potential for the car to catch fire as you age and experience those minor ailments of life such as bad knees or frozen shoulder get them fixed I'm 54 years old and I have personally watched healthy family members ignored these issues and act like Cowboys only to be put in nursing homes way early because they can no longer walk or care for themselves simply because they never had these things taken care of TL DR have your mobility ailments taken care of prior to old age and you'll live a longer and more independent life preforming CPR only prolongs the person from going into full cardiac arrest it doesn't cure them the defibrillator is what sets the heart back into its regular rhythm also call the ambulance you have been visited by the sniper Kitter good aim and also accuracy will come your way if you comment snipe well kidder
