I worked in a retail pharmacy so here is a list:

  • Women do not have prostates
  • During Fukishima nuclear incident, there would be no physical issues for people >5,000 miles away
  • Antibiotics don't work on viruses
  • Vaccines
  • "Natural" medicines can significantly interact with other medicines
  • What jock itch is and the astounding amount of men who thought it was normal
  • Don't recklessly shove things into your eye, ear, nose, butt, penis/vagina (exceptions apply)

wait what the fuck is jock itch?

[–] BoulevardBlvd@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 days ago

A fungal infection most common amongst teenagers forced to wear sweaty unwashed clothes over and over again for gym and sports because the school system is somehow set up too stupidly to effectively deal with mildewy clothing in 2025

It can happen to anyone. It's just super common amongst teens because enforcing and facilitating hygiene for young men is the lowest priority in our society for some reason

Do I want to know what the exception is where shoving things into places "recklessly" is okay?

Maybe recklessly isn't the right word, but there are emergency medications that are administered rectally or nasally where it's better to be quick than gentle. Rectally administered diazepam for seizures is a good example.

TIL that rectally administered diazepam is a thing.

I think I could have lived my whole life not knowing that and been the happier for it.

Women do not have prostates

That's a good one

Most don't, some do, in context presumably it was relatively clear
