Imagine going to look for your missing loved one, going in their silent house, looking from room to room, calling out for them, no reply. You get to the bedroom and they're just.... standing there... with their back to you. You ask them what the hell they're doing. No reply. You go round to look them in the face and their face is purple and their eyes are milky. The sheer terror and horror of not only finding your loved one dead, but finding them in such an unnatural -seemingly impossible - position, standing up to climb on the bed, would really fuck with your head.

I had an aunt who died after getting a lung transplant because it had a fungus growing on it that was not noticed before transplant and after getting it she was only out of the hospital one day before she died and the donor had other people get issues from the same fungus on their organs that were transplanted. My aunt had previously had breast cancer and her doctor told her not to worry about it after she had found a lump and her doctor was elderly and should have been charged for malpractice for not having her treated for breast cancer at all when she was his patient. Someone else had to treat it much later.

Okay, so (obligatory disclaimer) I'm neither a medical professional, nor a dead body... I used to be a fairly prolific Reptile Wrangler... On a job, we were called for a "Big dangerous snake", and the home owners normally get out of the way while we work, but we had this guy who just couldn't stay clear. He was always quick to vollunteer for "showing us where that is" or similar excuses to get more involved. AND of course the snake bit him... In the resulting frenzy, we managed to corner the snake while he scrambled up to the porch... and died before the Ambulance could arrive. "Well, okay, Gnarth. Dude died of a snake-bite. What's weird?" Right??? The snake was a Rock Python. Sure... large and moderately dangerous, but NOT venomous... Dude had himself convinced it was some kind of viper, though... impressed by size more than anything sensible. He died of cardiac arrest... basically the fear of venom and the shear size of the snake pushed his heart-rate and blood pressure past his limit to survive. Most of us present expected it to be nonvenomous, even if we couldn't readily I.D. the thing immediately by memory. It was large enough and muscular enough to just "present" a nonvenomous profile. BUT he scared himself to death over it. Now, while you sit there and process that. I'm NOT here to tell you to be nonchalant about snakes or snake handling. If you don't know, it IS best to leave them alone... just in general. However, there's nothing good to come from being horrifically afraid of them either. Venomous snakes actually do NOT want to hunt you down or invenomate you. You're not a "prey item" so to them, there's no profit in it,. Venom is expensive to them... SO they don't go prowling around on some personal mission to waste the stuff on everything around. They WILL use it in defense if they're stressed enough, but I've even been bitten by venomous snakes and spent the night in a hospital "under observation" without a drop of antivenom because it was a "dry" bite... meaning the snake bit me, but didn't bother throwing venom... More mature snakes are more likely to do that... BUT don't necessarily go betting your life on it as a probability. It's just a chance that you won't necessarily be invenomated just because you got bit... ...AND yes, "Fear" alone CAN kill you. ;o)

[@shayhoff7064]

I'm not afraid of the venom, it's the nasty slithering - tongue crap they do. And yes...I'm terrified of them.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

@@shayhoff7064 Well, you could take the popular route of just avoiding them. It's not so hard in most places in the world... I WILL assure you that, however "creepy" flitting its tongue might be, the snake is just "sniffing around"... SO it technically means it's "curious"... or tracking something interesting. If you're interested in diminishing the fear, I've found that research and knowledge can help... BUT more to the point, you could pop over to "Therapy in a Nutshell" (channel on KZbin) and scour some of Dr. McAdam's videos on things like processing emotions, deactivating the fear-response, and therapy techniques that can help build you up to a point you could at least manage yourself in the case you have little or no option other than deal with a snake. No promises that you'll be out there wrangling like I do (at least from time to time)... BUT it's not necessarily out of the question to be able to remember how to breathe and sidle away, rather than lock up hopelessly and/or wither and die instantly on sight of one... Finally... just between you and me... As a kid, I used to be terrified of them, too... Some research later... and I slipped into a peculiar fascination... AND then... I'm not sure how, but whatever "common sensibility" I had seemed to leave me, and I found myself laughing hysterically and dancing in circles with a 12 foot alligator, using an old adjustable hospital cane to "play him out" before diving onto his back with the black-tape... Snakes were peppered into that job in Florida for a couple years... AND I was just over it... ...Of course... I might not exactly be the best "paragon" to which you should aspire. ;o)

If it was me, I would have been _delighted._ It all depends on how you were raised. By 14, I had been reading medical texts and coroner's reports for 9 years, spent my free time watching OR videos, and done a short shadowing/pseudo-internship stint at my aunt's vet practice where I'd seen a dog's paw explode from a tumor (cleaning up that mess took at least an hour - luckily the dog was there specifically to get the tumor removed anyway so they already had the operating room set up for him and he recovered well, they even saved his paw). Some kids just aren't squeamish, they're the ones who grow up to be surgeons, morticians, EMTs, crime scene clean-up, etc, and if a parent is in that sort of profession, it makes sense they'd raise a child with the same interests.

You may hear these stories of people suffocating and sometimes wonder why they didn't realize anything is wrong. Apparently, the sensor in our bodies that triggers us to experience that 'suffocating' sensation is not tripped by a lack of oxygen. What trips it is an excess of carbon dioxide. Very specifically, and ONLY, carbon dioxide. So if you are suffocating because your oxygen is being displaced by ANYTHING other than carbon dioxide (carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, methane, sulfur hexafloride, whatever) the sensor isn't tripped, you don't get the warning sensation, and you have no idea anything is wrong until you keel over.

I believe she'd begun to feel ill, had shut off the stove top (she was cooking chicken breasts for herself and her beloved rescue husky), made it into the bathroom, and died.

A few minutes later a car drives up. The driver runs inside the station and asks if they have a phone, the station was in a rural area. He said to call the sheriff because there was a bad car accident down the road. The station owner called and my grandfather drove down the road to see if anyone needed help. He said he came over a hill and saw two cars that looked like they hit head on pretty hard. One of the cars got knocked back into a light pole which caused the power outage. He got out and walked to the first car and could clearly see the driver was definitely dead. He walked to the second car and no one was in there. He looked around in case that driver got ejected but could not find anyone. He walked past that car again and this time something caught his eye. He could see an arm sticking out under the dashboard. Turns out that the were two women in that car TWO!!! And the impact was so forceful that both of their bodies somehow rolled up underneath the dashboard.

Worked as an undertaker for a few years. Seen some shit. One man stood to close to the rails on a train station. High speed train came through and the wind pressure took him, slammed him against the train which flew him 40 meters through the air where he landed in the first floor of a house. The only way I can describe his body is minced meat

I'm not a medical examiner, but I knew a guy who died in a grain silo accident. It was just so surreal b/c I had known this guy and I also knew his older brother who had died over a decade earlier, and it hit me in the gut b/c this is the second time tragedy had happened like this to this family.

A man that drank 13+ litres of tap water because he thought it would make his hangover go away. He suffered a major electrolyte level derailment and died from the edema in his brain and lungs.

Did his cells burst from the too much fluid and sodium potassium pump failing causing the edema??

Damn, how'd he manage to muscle through the uncomfortable bloat that occurs after even a liter of liquid? I wouldn't want to do that because my stomach would hurt like hell not even a quarter or an eighth of the way through the deadly amount.

MadameSomnambule true, I cannot manage more than 1,5. It takes a certain type of insane to try it, but it did not happen in one go, but over several hours. As I remember He drank the 13 liters in 6 hours, starting at breakfast, was admitted in the evening and dead the next morning.

The "get regular physicals, folks" for the hemochromatosis case is sadly not that helpful. Several family members had to die before the doctors thought to connect the random organ failures with a buildup of too much iron in the blood. Fun facts: * the common treatment for hemochromatosis is quite beautifully medieval--bleeding. * women don't often suffer obvious symptoms until after menopause hits * it presumably increases your odds of being struck by lightning, but this is based on an amusing CSI episode and can be false.

[@ladydamiana6841]

Surely being a faithful blood donor (every 8 weeks) would help a great deal? Or is the blood too iron-rich for donation? I know I've been turned down as a donor a few times for LOW blood iron, but...?

[@TeamFriendship8600]

Or the old woman who was basically skinned alive by her own pets? We just not going to address that?

[@ZanysMoon]

@@TeamFriendship8600 What's to address?-- it's really quite common. Most people who are small animal people know about this, and if older, more or less expect it as part of their passing. I do; just wish I could designate which cats get which parts. Of course, in this case, the woman wasn't dead yet so, yes, a little bit different, but I suspect even she wasn't surprised. Let's hope she was past feeling that pain. After all what's a pet to do? No food for days on end and [sorry] fresh meat just laying there in the form of someone who's always supplied the nourishment. If you've never had the need to think about it before, it probably sounds pretty grotesque. Unfortunately, the only prophylactic against such an event would be to deprive people of their usually beloved pets. Some of us would actually prefer such and end to living in nursing home or becoming burdensome to family, even if there is some available. I guess I've just lived long enough to know there's gross, disgusting and horrifying happenings everywhere around you if you have the eyes to see. It's the ones committed by (alleged) humans that freak me out. BTW, if this story still disturbs you and you have a friend or family member or just a neighbor living alone, with or without a pet, you may feel human enough to see that they are contacted frequently in a friendly, social non-intrusive way. They may feel more secure and you'll be happy that you did when THAT time comes. Hope I didn't gross anyone out too badly.

[@TeamFriendship8600]

@@ZanysMoon I know that, but THIS case is just nightmare fuel. Hopefully she wasn't conscious enough to feel it. Can you imagine feeling your own pets rip and tear away at your flesh but you're unable to do anything about it? But yes, to be fair, the animals were most likely desperate for food. Actually, even humans may commit cannibalism if they're starving enough. It's like an instinctual overdrive where the brain, after going a long time without nourishment, will crave any nearest possible source of food, even if it's another person. Yes, there's a chance that even *YOU* may commit cannibalism to survive if you got extremely desperate. Likewise, when an animal is starved and sees their dead owner on the floor, they don't really see their owner as much as a source of food. Looking at it like that, while it's not pleasant whatsoever, it's not very surprising. After all, if a species like humanity can succumb to hunger and can resort to seemingly grotesque things to sate it given enough time, why would it be so shocking that your pets could eat your corpse?
