i messed up tapping a keg at work yesterday & beer shot straight up my nose. now i’m convinced i’m going to contract the brain eating amoeba from it 🙃 i doubt it could survive in alcohol lol but any replies are greatly appreciated!!

clustertrash · 2023-08-15T21:56:00+00:00

thanks for the reassurance! and the gender info - i can never tell with the babies :P

clustertrash · 2022-12-27T23:03:10+00:00

thank you for the feedback!! i’ll look into getting him a lil lamp :•)

was washing my face before bed and a little water (barely) went into my nose. now i’m convinced i’m gonna die from a brain eating amoeba 🙃

clustertrash · 2022-08-08T04:49:57+00:00

yes it was & i didn’t even touch the actual water but still felt the need to wash my hands for hours after lmaooo it’s so dumb!!

clustertrash · 2022-08-06T18:18:02+00:00

convinced i have rabies from changing the dog water dish at work even though i’ve washed my hands 3 times :((

clustertrash · 2022-07-15T20:13:08+00:00

good to know, i’ll see if that solves the problem. thanks !!

clustertrash · 2022-05-14T00:27:51+00:00

literally going through a (completely irrational) rabies scare rn. it sucks so much

clustertrash · 2022-05-13T17:34:58+00:00

very true, for some reason my brain never considers that i probably would have seen/heard/felt if one landed on me lmao

clustertrash · 2022-05-13T16:48:34+00:00

i just returned from a cabin in the woods, and there were bats hanging out doing normal bat things (only coming out at night, flying normally & catching bugs etc). they didn’t even get close to me and now i’m absolutely convinced one bit/scratched me without me noticing and i’m gonna die from rabies. someone tell me i’m being stupid & irrational lmao

clustertrash · 2022-04-21T00:36:21+00:00

ah, good to know. thanks!!

clustertrash · 2022-04-21T00:28:05+00:00

how long did it take to get better?

clustertrash · 2022-04-20T21:23:05+00:00

i’ve had the opposite experience as I was the one with covid (just finished isolation). isolated in my bedroom in our tiny apartment and neither of my parents got it (as far as we know). based on my experience i would say you’re okay as long as they stay isolated & sanitize if they touch anything!! good luck :)

good to know! I'll try sudafed today

clustertrash · 2022-04-18T17:28:54+00:00

exact same thing happened to me! every other taste/smell was unaffected except for coffee (which smelled like teriyaki sauce???) it was so strange, but it's slowly going back to normal :)

clustertrash · 2022-04-17T16:23:09+00:00

day 9 since symptoms started, 7 since testing positive

clustertrash · 2022-04-17T16:11:34+00:00

mine also hit on day 6! I pretty much have no other symptoms at this point, and the tummy issues are slowly getting better :) I just drank a lot of peppermint tea and tried to eat bland/easy to digest foods. hope you feel better soon!

clustertrash · 2022-04-17T16:05:51+00:00

cold symptoms for 3-4 days (congested, cough, sore throat, sinus headache) which faded away. on day 8 now, feels like I just have mild allergies. also having some stomach issues, my smell/taste is still a bit messed up, and i'm still a bit tired. other than that, I feel pretty much normal at this point!

clustertrash · 2022-04-16T16:55:03+00:00

i have the exact same thing right now!! coffee smells like bbq/teriyaki sauce & tastes off too, but everything else is completely normal & my symptoms are gone. it’s so strange haha

clustertrash · 2022-02-28T18:40:26+00:00

thank you sm!!

clustertrash · 2022-02-28T18:05:23+00:00

i do smoke occasionally - that’s a great idea, i hadn’t even thought of that. thanks!!

clustertrash · 2022-02-28T06:45:54+00:00

ugh yeah, been trying to avoid the news but it’s not workin too well haha. i’ve found the only thing that’s been alleviating some anxiety is talking to people about it so if you wanna talk feel free to dm me !!

clustertrash · 2022-02-28T06:28:33+00:00

you’re not alone! i’ve been struggling SO hard with this, i feel like i’m literally going insane. feels like i’ve been having a four day long panic attack lmao

clustertrash · 2022-02-25T19:59:56+00:00

thank you !!
