BRAINVOMIT

I'm a 19-year-old ginger girl named Elisa currently residing in the-middle-of-nowhere-desert, USA. I'm a comic artist; and by that I mean I'm always broke and slowly gaining more hatred for the general populace through my retail job.

I love sweets, zombies, blues jams, and sarcasm; but I hate all your bad vibes bro.

Also, I do have an ask but the link doesn't show up. feel free to type "brainvomit.tumblr.com/ask" and it'll take you to the ask page.

rasputin: Second Neti-Pot Death From Amoeba Prompts Tap-Water Warning Washing noses with neti pots or squeeze bottles has become increasingly popular as a home remedy for colds, allergies and sinus trouble. But it’s not such a great remedy if it kills you. Now that two people have died from infection with brain-eating amoebas after using neti pots, doctors are warning: do not put tap water up your nose. “Drinking water is good to drink, very safe to drink, but not to push up your nose,” says Raoult Ratard, state epidemiologist for theLouisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. Two residents of his state have died after using neti pots this year, the first known deaths associated with neti pots. “The first one could have been a fluke,” Ratard told Shots. But now that we have a second one, the only explanation is the use of the neti pot.” Shit I just used my neti pot yesterday. But also, you’re supposed to heat up the water (to normal body temp) before you put it up your nose, which these people probably didn’t do since I’m guessing it would have killed the amoeba. Don’t use shit unless you know how.
