Honestly, it's really fun how Dungeon Meshi haa the main party take on a teenage cat girl halfway through the series, except she's covered in fur all over so nothing shows even when she's naked, she's arguably the most skilled combatant in the group, basically everyone treats her like a kid they're taking care of, she acts like a feral cat begrudgingly choosing to adopt a group of humans instead of a needy kitten, she's a picky eater, she's immune to monsters that try to seduce you, and her past as a slave is directly shown to be traumatic and miserable to the point that her former owner literally made her have a magic seal on her neck that would murder her if she managed to escape.

She's basically the antithesis of fanservice catgirls. Every single trait other series use to turn catgirls into sex objects is inverted to make for an entertaining and interesting character.

Decided to say fuck it to my congestion. Closed myself in the guest bathroom, blocked out all ventilation, turned my massive humidifier on full blast and ran myself the hottest bath i can stand.

This is my enclosure. I live here now. I have recreated the water cycle in a matter of minutes and can finally breathe.

The TikTok Benadryl + ibuprofen ‘trend’ to treat anaphylaxis is distressing on multiple levels because it shows not only a blatant disregard for medical information but also how a little bit of information applied the wrong way can have disastrous effect.

The spiel I kept seeing from one creator whose videos I now can’t find (please god let it be because she got taken down and not simply because she blocked me) was that allergic reactions are an inflammatory response.

Which is correct! It is an exaggerated immune response to a foreign substance that can lead to swelling at the site of exposure.

However, not all inflammation it treated the same way and leaning towards the camera to say, “now, this is what doctors don’t want you to know,” as you explain that Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory—which it is, you are again correct on that point—and then urging people to use it as a cost effective way to treat allergic inflammation is going to get people killed because no!!! No, no, no!!!

Different inflammation pathways are active.

The ibuprofen might reduce swelling and pain from a bug bite but it’s not blocking the allergic response of the immune system. In fact it may make it worse because as I already noted in my previous post, ibuprofen can liberate basophil cells which are also liberated from mast cells during allergic responses.

Telling people to combine it with Benadryl only further risks the chance of mortality because Benadryl only treats some allergic mediators, and cannot reverse anaphylaxis once it’s started, and as I also previously pointed out can mask symptoms of shock because it can make you sleepy.

Just because something is cheap and readily accessible doesn’t mean it’s safe for you to concoct your own treatment for serious ailments based on the most basic surface level understanding of word definitions.

Inflammation has many mediators. You can’t nod and wink at the camera like you’ve hacked big pharma when you don’t understand that.

I am so, so sure that my cousin meant to type something else, but I'm going to cry. Welcome to my bathroom themed bathroom... Pictures of other people's bathrooms on the walls... Little bathtub figurines on the sink... Soap dispenser shaped like a toilet... Life could be a dream... in my bathroom themed bathroom...
