He's right. I kept the wound open and completely bled out. Lost all of my blood. But it's worth it because i didn't get Tetanus.
Did you know you can stop rabies by having someone chop your head off?

That's probably the preferred treatment over dying of rabies induced violent psychosis.
I wonder what it’s like to be in a rabies induced violent psychosis. Also why it’s like while you’re still somewhat sane, but fear water.
I hear you get banned from hydrohomies
Aww man.
It's most likely like a really bad panic attack. One that just gets worse and worse while you get more and more confused on why anything is happening, and everything becomes a phobia as you start to realize you're on your way to the grave but no longer have the faculties to rationalize out why it's happening any more.
No, you amputate the torso, it's different
All you have to do is tell the tetanus "I do not consent," and by law, it cannot infect you.
If it were a legitimate tetanus infection, the body has ways of shutting it down.
Oh great, a "sovereign organism" movement...
He’s technically correct - if you bleed fast enough for long enough, you won’t get infected by anything that needs a live host to grow.
I just imagined one these people getting paper cut and intentionally forcing it too bleed like a garden hose.
You just have to make sure you bleed faster than the bacteria or whatever can swim in.
Just start squeezing those arteries like tube of toothpaste
I can imagine the guy just pumping out his own blood like crazy laughing hysterically "You can't poison me you fools!"
I wish there was just a button you could push to make people feel shame.
Ok I'm gonna stop grabbing cow manure with bleeding hands.
Nothing is allowed anymore :(
Nono, you're fine doing that, just make sure you're bleeding hard enough so that the manure can't get in the bloodstream.
Best idea, just get rid of ALL the blood.
Can't have. Bloodborne disease if you have no blood.
Well the immune system is amazing. Their brain, not so much.
If the immune system was so amazing, why didn't it destroy the silly inside their brain?
Wait, why do I even need an immune system if the bloodletting keeps the bad spirits out anyway?
Alright, give this guy an old fashioned blood letting with some leeches when he's feeling under the weather.
Tetanus is fucking terrifying. I'm happy to have chemicals to protect me from that.
My last tetanus shot hurt for 3 weeks straight. But I ended up not breaking my spine with muscle convulsions, so I think it's a pretty good trade off.
People are just so confident in the bullshit they think is correct and have no proof of. It sounds right so it is. Must be.
I whish I was so confident in anything.
They must be thinking that our body is like a municipal water system. The water is usually kept at high pressure so that if there's a leak or rupture, the water will gush out violently enough to prevent anything from contaminating the system for everyone else.
The key thing they're missing though is gushing violently. The body generally doesn't bleed vigorously enough to prevent foreign agents from getting in -- and most of the time when it does, you're having severe blood loss.
The only exception I think is around the anus. If you've had hemorrhoids you've seen just how much they can bleed, and I think that's to generally keep things out since it's an unclean area. Still, if you sat down with a bleeding ass in contaminated water, you're still going to get infected.

Not to mention... sharks!
Hypertension special secret capability unlocked: infection invulnerability!
They're not entirely wrong, which is frustrating.
Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria which means exposure to air will kill it. If a cut is bleeding that means it's at least partially exposed and may prevent tetanus. The reason people tend to get tetanus infections from puncture wounds is because the wound heals up and seals out the air.
Also, letting a cut bleed for a bit is one way of flushing any foreign material from the wound, which can help. But you still need antibiotics and a bandage to reduce the risk of infection.
It's like only doing the first step of CPR.
A: "You got to lay them on their back."
B: "And then?"
A: "No that's it."
B: "Isn't there chest compressions or something involved?"
A: "Nope, chest compressions are dangerous and cause people to break bones. Plus almost 100% of people who were not laying on their backs ended up dying after their heart stops. So, laying someone on their back is all you need to do."
Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating when propaganda uses partially true information to push their agenda. From a first aid perspective, letting the wound bleed a bit and get oxygen exposure can reduce the initial infection. You should absolutely get the vaccine though because why fucking risk it?
Real "Magnets, how do they work? Its a miracle!" Energy
oh so we're wrapping around to the 1820's now too
I can get on board with the cocaine and laudanum. Not so much the mercury and bloodletting.
I'd like to see them say that when they have lock jaw
Sorry wrong. Can't have lock jaw if you only leave it unlocked. Human body amazung
SICKNESS, BE GONE!
You know
You try and try to educate people but… idk maybe they should be allowed to conduct experiments if they’re willing to sign off on no medical treatment. Seems like a fair challenge to those who know so much.
I can't be the only person not totally dissapointed at how meth lab medical this person's advice is, but like fucking sad because there are three other people who liked this meaning there are more decimal bound IQ meatbags who would take this as solid advice.
That person's grade of stupid is not a freak one off. There are others!
At some point you stop bleeding Doogie Howser. If you're lucky that'll be before you run out of blood, in which case, according to your theory of medicine, you'll be infected anyway.
If it's after you run out of blood, well, infection wasn't your main problem.
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
