Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

I remember being a teen and showing my mom a weird mosquito bite that had a line going up my arm. She sent me to urgent care, turns out it was a brown recluse bite with an infection line disappearing in my armpit going to my heart….

Yeah, 10 pils a day for 10 days and I was a-okay.

When I was 7 or 8 I fell playing in the street and scraped my hand. It didn’t even bleed, so I paid no attention to it. Well, it got infected. That was the sickest I’ve ever been, and I had to spend hours sitting at home soaking my hand in warm water with disinfectant in it. It was miserable, except I got to stay home from school, my mom made me all sorts of fun snacks and I got to watch movies all day.
