I used to believe that I would try anything once. Skydiving? Sure! Foods that I’ve never heard of? Bon appétit! But as I’ve gotten older and wiser, I’ve realized that there are actually plenty of things that I will gladly never touch.   

Redditors have recently been discussing some of the things that the vast majority of us should never mess around with, so we’ve gathered some of their replies below. From substances that can be incredibly addictive to experimenting with tools that might make you lose a limb, enjoy reading through all of these things to avoid. And be sure to upvote the risks that you’re not willing to take either!

“Turning Into High-Velocity Sausage Meat”: 30 Things People Shouldn’t Mess Around With Antibiotic resistance.

YoussefA2000:

Definitely This!
As a Pharmacist I deal with a TON of people who just "Stopped taking Antibiotics after they felt well" and are currently wondering why they are coughing up mucus and sneezing again..
CONTINUE YOUR ANTIBIOTICS AS MENTIONED ON THE LABEL OR UNTIL THE DOC SAYS STOP. NEVER STOP THEM ON YOUR OWN GODDAMIT!

Dogs.

Do your training, take it seriously; within breed limits, a well trained dog should do its business outside, not jump up, tolerate all handling, sit, recall, go to bed and stay on command, give up toys on a word, stop barking when told to, and walk a proper heel (by your side at the level of your hip, not loose lead in front; the difference is important on an icy day!). Exercise twice a day for an hour each. Socialise from the puppy (dogs, horses, adults of all ages, children, cars, bikes, guns if you want a gundog, the vet, busy streets, public transport, the hoover, you get the idea) Feed dog food (not human food) twice a day and take unfinished food up after 30 mins (stops obesity); do not ever feed scraps under the table. Do not encourage bad behaviour (ignore it).

Any breed can be destructive. Most can seriously hurt people or other animals if they want to. Much of this is avoidable.

Do not make a ticking timebomb for yourself.

Blue ring octopus.

Avery357:

Just a PSA, blue ring octopuses don't always have blue rings! They only get blue rings when they feel threatened, so avoid any octopus that has not been 100% identified. Heck, avoid all octopuses.
