Don't tell your Dr. You drank turpentine when you're having a reaction to drinking turpentine, are you crazy?

Dummies need privacy too
I actually feel bad for this person and reading this gave me the chills... I don't know why they took that turpentine but the fact remains that our education in the US is failing us and poor people will go through crazy "home treatments" because going to the hospital is too expensive when you have no insurance.

Its not just poor people. Wealthy educated people were always talking about doing stuff like this when I worked at wholefoods. I'm like "you're a lawyer, shouldn't you be smarter than this?"
@Blindbird some people are good in their profession but they have no common sense.

The best things about your comments are A.) They're usually damn funny and B.) Your profile pic always looks like you've just told the best dad joke you know and are super pleased with everyones' horror.
?
@Blindbird thank you! I must admit that I do find other people's horror entertaining! I appreciate your posts and comments too!
Holy Cow!
'Turpentine is a solvent and a poison, but some people are drinking it as a medicine. Scott Gavura wrote about it 2 years ago and concluded, “There’s no reason to consume turpentine and multiple reasons to avoid it completely, with the primary reason being that it’s a poison.”'

People still do this - drinking turpentine? I thought this stopped in the late 1800s, when, you know, they realised how poisonous it actually is, and how there's no health benefits at all, except if your goal is to poison yourself.

Allow me to introduce you to Jeff Holiday. Lots of these people are still around and he makes videos lambasting them on the regular.
These kinds of things always make me sad and angry.
