Teach your kids that if an adult they don’t know asks them for help, do not go with them or help them!
Responsible adults ask other adults for help.
Pencil 8 months ago
While you're at it, teach kids what the word "stranger" means. Lots of kids, particularly younger ones, assign particular physical characteristics to what "strangers" "look like" in their minds. So they don't always understand that a man who "has a mustache like daddy" is still a stranger.
Brian Droste 8 months ago
Also if the stranger says something like this, Hi, my name is so and so, what is your name, we are friends now. No, you are not friends. Because you know somebodies name doesn't mean you are friends.

Best lesson my parents ever taught me was that it's ok to, respectfully, tell adults no. This was in the context of teachers wanting to use my brother and I as messengers instead of, you know, communicating with our parents directly. Teachers quickly learned to talk to our parents directly and that polite yet firm is a family trait.

Even if they DO know the adult, they should trust their instincts. If they start to get a feeling of dread around the adult, it's perfectly fine to not go with them.

Rabies has a 100% fatality rate once symptoms start
100%
But symptoms typically take at least a week to appear
If you ever get bit by a mammal that you aren't sure is vaccinated, get the rabies shot immediately.
Jason Kennith 8 months ago
When my sister was on a mission in Costa Rica, a random dog ran out from underneath a pickup truck and bit her in the foot. She said that rabies shots are very hard to get in Costa Rica, but the mission president (or someone similar) had some, and she had to get ten shots in her foot. Obviously, it was an unpleasant experience, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

When I was a counselor at a camp one summer one of my fellow counselors, not one of the kids, saw a squirrel. For reasons illogical she reached out and touched it. Obviously it bit her. We were 2 hours from the nearest hospital. While the director got someone to get the van she called all of us and made sure we knew never to touch the animals. If we saw one we were to immediately remind the kids not to touch them. She told that counselor her actions (she very specifically said she as a person wasn't stupid) but her actions were stupid. Counselor agreed. Counselor wanted to wait until at least the following morning to go get a rabies shot. It was 10pm. What would 7-8 hours matter? Director wasn't having it. She insisted she go immediately. Only after she got back did the counselor get the urgency. I'm guessing she did research once she was back in range of the Internet.

Not sure if there is a difference between the shots you'll get when bitten or the ones you get already prophylactic. I had my 3 prophylactic and they did not hurt more than some other vaccines. Symptoms wise, I have to say the Corona shots were worse.

If you find more than one person unconscious, DO NOT APPROACH. There's possibly gas and toxins about, you'll just be another victim if you get too close. Phone the authorities and report it instead.

These stories almost always have three fatalities before somebody hesitates, and maybe this is why. One person down, it's a crisis so you run in; two people down, still makes sense to run to help; but three people down is no longer a coincidence, it's a warning.

Right! You clear the gas from the room by first shooting in an incendiary round or tossing a molotov cocktail. Everybody knows that
Living life is risky, no matter what. Accidents can and do happen, whether you’re driving a car, walking on the sidewalk, taking a shower, or just making dinner. Illnesses can catch up to you even if you’re extremely careful. Layoffs, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events have the potential to turn your day-to-day routine completely upside down.
However, you can’t and shouldn’t live in constant fear. So, you prepare for emergencies as best you can while also not letting paranoia dominate your life. If you stay cooped up at home because you’re scared of getting hurt, you’re missing out on all the opportunities that life has to offer. Not only that, but accidents can also happen at home, whether it’s slipping in the bathroom or choking on a piece of food, so you shouldn’t hold on to the idea of being 100% safe anywhere.
It helps your confidence if you know what to do in emergency situations like fires or if someone else around you needs medical assistance. You can attend various courses in person or online to get to grips with the basic skills and knowledge you need.

Very specifically for a woman threatened or attacked by a man, yell "I DON'T KNOW HIM! CALL 911" [Or your country's equivalent, of course.] Bystanders are *extremely* reluctant to get involved if they think it's a domestic situation. Even in cases of obvious physical violence. You have a much better chance of someone intervening if they believe the man is a stranger to you.

Actually I have a story for this. At some point I read somewhere online that if a car was going to hit you, you should jump to avoid being run over or "swallowed" by the car. So one day while walking to class, some lady ran a red light and came at me at full speed. In the split second I saw her coming at me, I remembered that little bit of information and jumped. I ended up bouncing off the hood of her car and slid a good 5-6 feet and got up relatively unscathed-just a few cuts and bruises.

I don't know if it's trivial but I now there are still a lot of people who don't know the mnemonic FAST in order to quickly remember and identify a stroke.
* Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
* Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
* Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
* Time: Note the time that you observe these symptoms and call 9-1-1 immediately
This has saved many lives and I feel like more people should know it.

I’d like to add an IMPORTANT ONE they —REALLY SHOULD ADD—… My brother is 42 and has a MASSIVE STROKE on New years morning… Luckily my mum in a hospital for over 30 years so she knew IMMEDIATELY when he he stumbled in the room.. BUT, one they SHOULD add is that the person’s tongue will be SO SWOLLEN that it doesn’t even fit in mouth. If they’re trying to talk you won’t understand them! I won’t go into full details — because it’s very stressful and upsetting to witness, especially family—,but I’ll also add that if the person is standing, be ready for them to hit the floor like a tonne of bricks.. Then, even though their body will start having seizures BUT SOMEHOW, it will STILL go into FIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE and even though they are no longer aware, they will still fight to stand up.. 😔
When you’re under immense stress, it’s incredibly hard to think clearly. So, it’s very useful if you practice what to do in emergencies as often as you can until those skills become habits. Then, when disaster strikes, your body and mind will move seemingly on their own: you’ll instinctively know what to do because you’ve already put in hours of your time to practice.
Emergency skills aside, the best thing that you can do to be prepared for whatever bad luck existence throws your way is to live a healthy lifestyle. That means putting in regular effort to improve your diet, fitness, mental health, and social life. The healthier and fitter you are in all aspects of your life, the better you’ll weather any illnesses or accidents that might come your way.
The World Health Organization warns that the biggest health risk globally is ischaemic heart disease: it is responsible for 13% of all people who pass away around the world. In 2021, 9 million people lost their lives due to heart disease.

Don't panic when caught in a rip current. You're not going to be swept out to sea. Flip on your back to conserve energy and paddle parallel to the beach until you break free. Rip currents can take you out lightening fast, and panicking is deadly in that situation.

Yes. There are many drownings at Australian beaches because people don’t understand this. If you try to fight against the current you will become exhausted and drown. Also if you are at a beach with flags, swim between them, they are there for a reason.

My cousin died rescuing his grandson that was caught in a rip tide. When I was younger and surfing a lot I learned to 'read' the water. I've been caught in one once, but luckily I was on my surfboard at the time. Even then is was hard to get out of the current. Very scary.
Michael Largey 8 months ago
As a kid, I was caught standing in a rip tide just a few feet from shore. I was standing still, but the beach seemed to be moving to the right.
KieLeaHar 8 months ago
Yep. Growing up in Australia we are taught by our parents that if you caught in a rip you do NOT fight. Because you will just become exhausted trying to fight it because they are strong, they are very very strong. You will just be so exhausted you have no chance. You just have to try and stay calm, raise one hand so the lifeguards or your friends and family can see you being taken out and just go with the tide. It won’t take you all the way out to see like people tell you all you read about. And once you go out far enough, make your way back in diagonally against the tide. Then get back to the shore and have a rest. Have a nice cold drink and have a break from the water.

I know from experience that a hot bbq looks like a cold bbq! When I was on a school excursion we stopped at a park and I assumed the push button bbq was off because no one was using it. I put my hand on it and burned three fingers, then I was too embarrassed to tell the teachers what had happened so didn't get first aid for it. Thankfully it wasn't a bad burn, but my fingers stung for a while!

In hot metal work, the term is 'black heat.' It's not incandescing anymore, but it's only a few degrees below redhot. A blacksmith friend taught me to put all hot metal on the floor to help you keep them straight.
As per the CDC, adults are urged to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week, as well as spend 2 days on muscle-strengthening activities.
You also need to get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, and focus on your positive relationships while avoiding negative people. Meanwhile, avoid overly processed and junk foods and steer clear of bad habits like smoking and drinking. Even tiny habits, healthy and unhealthy alike, can compound quickly, so every little thing that you do does matter.

Wash your hands before eating. Every time. Really. You see that burger you're picking up? If you're doing so with unwashed hands, you're contaminated food with you-don't-know-what.

Don't be too embarrassed to *be safe*. I read a crazy stat once about how many people (especially men) DIE because they were choking in a restaurant and went to the bathroom because they were embarrassed.

He went down, hit his head on the concrete and had a large cut over his eye. I thought I'd k!lled him. At that moment a police car pulled up along side and told the two to clear off.

What Jackie Lulu said. Buy a fire blanket and hang it up in the kitchen in clear view. Read the instructions so you know how to use it before you need it. Turn off the heat, smother the fire with a fire blanket, and leave whatever had caught fire to cool down for an hour. If you don't have a fire blanket, a wet tea towel can be useful for *small* cooker fires (you MUST turn the heat off first) and of course a pan lid can extinguish a small pan fire if you can put it on safely. Baking soda CAN be effective IF used correctly - fire blankets are generally a better idea. https://firefighternow.com/can-baking-soda-put-out-a-fire-a-firefighter-answers/ and https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=fire+blanket+for+kitchen

I like cars, driving is fun, but it's also still one of the leading causes of premature death in the world, be smart my dudes.
Wear your f*****g seatbelt, I don't care what the state/country specific laws say even if you're in the backseat, and make sure every other passenger is wearing them, momentum wins every single time if you're not belted in. Ensure you're wearing it properly, deal with the discomfort of the belt running across your torso. Some minor discomfort is a much smaller problem than breaking your pelvis in the event of a crash.
For the love of all things holy, don't use your phone while driving. If you use your phone for GPS, get a phone holder for your car, punch in your route, and leave it. If you absolutely need to reply to a text/call/whatever, pull over somewhere and reply, otherwise your life is more important and any sane person would be understanding if you reply later.
Avoid get-there-itis. I get it; nobody wants to be late, miss something, have to spend extra time on the road, etc. But never let your desire/need to get somewhere take precedence over the safety of yourself and others. I'd rather be late to work or my destination than get in a wreck because of erratic driving.
Don't drive drowsy, it's just as bad as drunk driving. If you find yourself getting tired to the point where keeping your eyes open is a struggle, swap driving with an able passenger. Or if you're alone or without a suitable replacement driver, stop somewhere and take a quick nap.
Know your car, they come with a manual for a reason. Understand what everything in it does and what it needs maintenance wise to stay in a safe operating condition. Keep on regular maintenance like oil, fluids, tires, brakes, and the like; especially before going on an extended road trip. Paying for maintenance sucks, but it beats getting in an accident because your brakes were borderline needing replacement, your tires were quite bald, etc. The safety of any machine is a function of both its operator and the condition of the machine.
Speeding, everyone does it, but understand that it will only save you so much time. Go with the flow, going 5-10 over is fine if that's what the herd is doing. But anything beyond that can be quite excessive, especially for things like turns. Engineers get paid a lot of money to analyze the safety of roads, trust them when a sign says you need to slow down for a sharp turn. Be especially conscious of speeding if you're driving in an unfamiliar area, take it slow if you don't the road.
Driving can be and is a frustrating experience, but letting your anger get the best of you clouds your judgement. S**t happens, take a deep breath and don't get too worked up over the actions of other drivers. Nobody likes to get cut off, but there's no sense in getting angry over things you can't control, like other drivers. Road rage is never okay.
Always be vigilant. See a car bouncing between the lines? Someone pulling a trailer with poorly secured items? Someone riding your a*s? Put distance between your vehicle and them when it is safe to do so. You're only as safe as the worst driver around you.
Driving is deceptively easy and simple, but never get too complacent. Remember that as a fragile meat sack going tens of miles per hour in a multi-ton hunk of metal, glass, plastic, and flammable fluids you're in a constant battle between physics and stupidity. Physics will win every time no matter how "safe" your car is how "good" of a driver you or someone else is.

If someone is driving too close behind, accelerating away from them is not your only option, you can also pull over and let them pass if possible. Usually pulling away is the answer, but just sometimes it's better to let them get away from you.

One of the most effective and used medicines for a heart attack is aspirin. When someone is having a heart attack, have them chew on an aspirin.
"When taken during a heart attack, aspirin slows clotting and decreases the size of the blood clot that is forming."
john doe 8 months ago
It makes the platelets less sticky , it doesn't reduce the size of an already existing blood clot but it keeps the platelets from forming new clots during the period of poor circulation that happens with a heart attack. It doesn't reverse a heart attack it helps with the survival rate of a heart attack. Taking daily baby aspirin is a great preventative measure as your blood is less likely to clot up.
Jessica Everson 8 months ago
Unfortunately this may only be true for men. Clinical trials tend to have a mostly male sample size and/or don't differentiate their results based on s*x, which has led to almost all medical advice being centred around male physiology and receptiveness. A few smaller studies have been done in the last decade that look specifically at female response/ receptiveness to aspirin and have found that it is less effective for women. 'Invisible Women' by Caroline Criado-Perez goes into a lot more detail about this, as well as other gender data gaps in the modern world.

For the curious: There’s a compound in grapefruit that messes with the enzymes that metabolize several groups of medications. If you’re eating grapefruit while on such a medication, it may not get filtered out of your body as quickly as it should, resulting in a buildup of the medication in your system. If it’s absolutely necessary that you continue to consume grapefruit, your doctor will need to adjust your dose to compensate. (It’s extremely unlikely that you will absolutely need grapefruit.)

If you're in a storm with lightning and there is nowhere to seek shelter, find the lowest point you can, crouch into a ball with your head between your knees and only your shoes touching the ground (if you're some kind of yoga god and can do this on one foot, even better) Do NOT lie down. You want as little contact with the ground as possible. Avoid water, ideally find rocks/gravel as they are less conductive than soil and sand. Also don't group together, if you're going to get hit you don't want everyone to get hit when the lightning charge travels along the ground. Space yourselves out 60ft or more if possible.

Just remember, if it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. And if the bear charges you, stand your ground, as these are likely fake charges meant to intimidate you. If you run when you're charged by a bear, it'll see that as a sign of weakness and you're pretty much dead meat (literally). Make yourself appear as big as you can and scream at the bear. (Note that that's more useful for black bears.) With brown bears, curl up into a ball, hold still, and hope it loses interest in you. As always, don't bother bears whenever possible, and remember that it can be hard to differentiate between black bears and brown bears. Remember that the forest is their territory, not yours. Please be respectful of nature.

When cars crash into bodies of water, rescue workers often find people drowned in them later, with the seatbelts still on. People have trouble thinking clearly in panic situations, and many people die struggling to escape their cars without having removed their belts.
The first thing you should do if your car crashes into the water is roll down your window while unbuckling your belt. Power windows may still work briefly after hitting the water, so you want to do it immediately. If the power windows don't work, you want to kick out your windshield, but that's a lot easier said than done. If your window is open and your seatbelt is off, you stand a decent chance of getting out of there alive.

It's amazing how much has changed since my first course including the rate of breaths to compressions in CPR. Also, Melbourne used to have the fastest average response time for ambulances in the world (8 minutes) but now it is WAY down the list! We don't do Heimlich in Australia, as the success rate for it isn't that great, we learn to do chest thrusts and back blows instead. The collapsed/punctured lung is a 'sucking chest wound' I believe and not something a standard first aid course covers because the assessment and treatment isn't something general public is likely to be able to do on their own, though the person on an emergency phone call may advise differently if needed.

Keep them by doorways - you can exit the room if the fire is not going out. Keep one next to the bed. And remember to get DOWN if there is smoke and crawl if you can - it can not only choke you from inhalation, but actually incinerate your lungs.

Know the symptoms of a *Heart Attack*, some common ones include:
- Chest pain (it can feel like an elephant is sitting on your chest to some patients)
- Pain in your (usually) left arm, jaw, back
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Clammy / sweating
- Light headed / dizzy
- Coughing / wheezing
- You feel like, or know, you're going to die
Chew and swallow an Aspirin tablet (ideally 300mg).
Get urgent medical attention if you suspect a Heart Attack.
*Stroke:* Remember the BEFAST acronym.
**B**alance (loss of balance)
**E**yes (one or both eyes unreactive)
**F**ace (drooping to one side)
**A**rms (cannot hold them both up equally)
**S**peech (slurred)
**T**IME = BRAIN
Get urgent medical attention if you suspect a Stroke.
*SEPSIS* CAN DEVELOP FAST AND CAN EASILY K**L YOU. GET URGENT MEDICAL HELP IF YOU SUSPECT IT.
Most of the time (not always), it occurs after surgery, a deep cut/bite, being unwell (with a suspected infection). If you're concerned, just ask 'Could it be Sepsis?'
Remember the SEPSIS acronym.
**S**lured speech / confusion
**E**xtreme shivering / muscle pain
**P**assing no urine (in a day)
**S**evere breathlessness
**I**t feels like you're going to die
**S**kin that's mottled, discoloured or very pale. A rash that doesn't fade when you roll a glass over it.
Symptoms vary in a child. Get medical advice if you suspect Sepsis.

If you play on a recreational sports team/league, at least here in the U.S., many AED companies offer promotions for buying portable defibrillators. Extra bonus - if it’s used, they give you a new one for free.

Huddo's sister 8 months ago
In Australia, there are apps (GoodSAM and the St John First Responder app are good choices) that locate the nearest defibrillators. They usually show a map of your location and the defibs, and when ones have been transported they can show how close to arriving they are. I don't know about getting your own ones here, I've never had that mentioned at first aid courses, though I know organisations can purchase them. We had one installed at my church last year in memory of a former member of the congregation that had died (not there) of heart attack.

A blood pressure monitor is only about $30. Check your blood pressure regularly every couple of weeks. If you see that you are in the yellow or red range, that means you have hypertension, and are at high risk for a heart attack in the future.

If you drive your car in to a body of water, you can take out the removable headrest, jam it down the side of the window, and pull. This causes the window to break allowing you to exit the vehicle easily. Like this.

Be careful on the windscreen - modern ones are made from laminated glass rather than tempered glass and is a lot more difficult to break and then cut the laminate. Generally “escape tools” are designed for tempered glass like on a lot of cars side/rear windows. Fun fact - lots of premium cars have “security” “acoustic” or some other term glass on the sides and rear for better NVH/Security which is laminated (my BMW has it) making it much harder to escape if needed.

This won't work in all cars as many require you to move the seat forward etc to remove, which might not be possible while you are reacting to a sinking car. You can get hammers designed to break windows and they often have a seatbelt cutter too.

By the time you pull off the head reset, you could have rolled down the window.

In my car, you just hold down a button on the side of the headrest and pull. Takes like 3 secs and the two metal prongs at the bottom can be used to break the window if it doesn’t roll down, like if you have power windows and they stop working because you fell in a lake or something.

It takes 30-120 seconds on average to lose enough blood to go unconscious depending on wound severity.
A tourniquet can prevent bleeding out and can safely remain on the body when applied correctly for multiple days before it causes any additional damage.
Military grade tourniquets cost $30 and can be easily applied by any able bodied human. Unless you are around water often, you are almost as likely to need to use a tourniquet to save a life as you are to need to apply CPR since CPR won't help someone who is still bleeding out.

If you’re stranded in a wilderness survival situation and the only thing you eat is rabbit meat, you will still starve to death.
Rabbit meat doesn’t have enough fat to keep you going, you will burn more calories digesting it than what you consumed.
Your are better off eating nothing at all, or if you really must eat, consume not only the meat but also the brains and eyeballs, as this will give you considerably more useful nutrients.

Partly correct. You do not burn more calories digesting rabbit meat. There us no known food that is negative caloric. You can die from eating just rabbit meat but it is so rare that the concept of not eating versus eating just rabbit is speculative. It would do for a meal or two. Yes, eating the brain will give you fat not present in meat, so would boiling the carcass ( break the bines for marrow ).
Forrest Hobbs 8 months ago
Eat not just the lean meat, but the brains, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, bone marrow - the lot. But as Sue User points out, there's no food that's negative caloric and eating even just lean rabbit meat will keep you going for a decent while before malnutrition starts to be a problem.

To clarify - instead of putting your hand near the end of the barrel (closest to where the bullet would come out) put it closer to the butt/trigger area and wrap your hand around the top/back of the pistol - this is where the spent shell would eject. It'll cause the shell to not eject and will then jam the gun.

It's better to arrive to the hospital in an ambulance than by yourself/ be driven there.
You'll get treated faster and be taken more seriously.
FreeTheUnicorn 8 months ago (edited)
No, you're triaged the same way. The only thing that is faster is that the EMTs will tell triage what is wrong with you, so it saves a few seconds. If you don't need lifesaving treatment in the ambulance, it's not necessarily quicker. And If you aren't dying, you don't get lights.
UKDeek 8 months ago
Absolutely not true in the UK either, and this belief causes significant issues with the amount of people who call 999 and insist on an ambulance just for this reason. Doesn't matter which mode of transport you use to get to the Emergency Department, you will be triaged (usually by a Nurse) and dealt with accordingly.

This is not true. It's the severity of symptoms that influences triage. These days in Australia, many ambulance patients are 'ramped' waiting for hours to be admitted just like ones not taken by ambulance.
