In general, don't move somebody who is on the ground. Moving somebody who has unknown injuries could result in paralysis and worse. It's one of the things they pound into your head during first aid training.

It works! My husband thought I was nuts for telling him to spit on a bloodstain on his shirt. He skeptically tried it and was like, 'Holy sh*t, that worked!' I was dying laughing at his reaction to me saying, 'Spit on it. Yes. Just spit on it! Try it!' Even more hilarious, I had no idea if it would actually work; I’d only read about it. But it did work, and really well. It just sounded wild!
We managed to get in touch with MarbleMimic and they agreed to tell us more about their now-viral post. "I like getting at the heart of what people are reluctant to talk about and the things that are upsetting yet true," the Redditor revealed its roots to Bored Panda.
"I was initially thinking of 'uncomfortable yet true' advice, but I was as surprised as anyone that foolproof ways of getting out stains rose to the top."

As MarbleMimic kept going through the replies, they noticed a few patterns emerging among the most popular ones. "They tended to fall into two categories: 'know your body' and 'don't give people the benefit of the doubt.'"
Dr. Rob Sinnott, Chief Science Officer for USANA, the global health and wellness company that commissioned the aforementioned study, said "We have so much going on in our lives, we sometimes forget that our health should come first and for a lot of us, our high school anatomy classes were ages ago."

Adding to this, another sign to get to the toilet quickly is if you start producing more saliva.
Sinnott isn't too surprised by the fact that a lot of people aren't well-versed in the mechanics of the body and nutrition. That being said, with everything happening in the world right now, he believes "it's as good of time as ever to start taking your health seriously and learning about your body and how it works."
46 percent respondents of their study reported they want to expand their knowledge around mental health, while 38 percent would like to look into cardiology, and 32 percent want further education on reproductive health.

Before I remembered the little suction tube existed, I had the visual of someone putting their mouth over a baby's nostrils and slurping snot out of their nose. I fu**ing gagged.

When my dad got bladder cancer, I learned a lot of information about what subtly different shades of urine mean, so I was obsessed with analyzing mine for a while. (He's fine now — ten years in remission!)
Gas, too. I know a woman who realized she had bowel cancer because her gas changed smell drastically.
The Redditor who initiated this discussion thinks our predispositions might be holding us back. "When people talk about 'unpleasant' advice, gross or not, there's always cloaked language. People never say the words 'blood' or 'spit.'"
"I'm a fan of true crime, and others will look at me sideways and assume it's because of that that I know that blood dries brown and not red (not, you know, the fact that I have a period)."

Weird how they aren’t comfortable for what is essentially a mini-shower for your butthole, but they are comfortable wiping fecal matter off their butthole with just paper and their hand.

Adam M. Taylor, Ph.D., who has also done a study on the public's anatomical knowledge, said “It enables people to make better, more informed choices about their health and wellbeing. It also enables them to utilize healthcare services more efficiently as well as have a better understanding of the information that might be conveyed to them when dealing with doctors or other healthcare providers."
And if a Reddit thread helps us to fill the gaps, who cares if it's just an online scroll?

I remember when I had comeback from a training flight (Air Force) when my son was about four or five months old. I had just started to open the door and heard my wife scream. She stormed out of our son's bedroom and faced me, and I saw a splash of a grayish-green liquid dripping from her cheek and collarbone. She practically blew steam out of her ears and yelled, 'YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SON NOW!' I turned to go into his room when I observed a line of diarrhea dripping from almost the top of the door and in a six-foot runner down on the floor from the door to his changing station.

The "branches" of the clitoris wrap around the bladder, and extra pressure can make things easier. Similarly, pregnancy (fetus pressing on bladder) and pronebone (woman laying prone) can make female orgasm easier.
