II Lilium II Oxygen has a liquid form as well too, maybe drinking it wouldn't be harmful if taken in minute doses. Except for the part where it's ridiculously cold... What OP needs to look up is blood doping. |

watshername123 Catharia logan the god of candy a certain amount will kill you, but a few little bubbles won't really do anything. ^^ not true, even small bubbles can cause air embolisms in capillary beds. Which will lead to death of the tissue supplied by those cappilaries. Not a good idea. The bends is essentially bubbles of nitrogen gas in the blood after all. Although air bubbles are terrible when injected into the bloodstream, and your statement about the bends is correct, the bends does not always kill you. So you small air bubbles are not always fatal, but they can be incredibly painful. Decompression sickness turns from discomfort to psychological dysfunction when the bubbles appear in brain tissue. Sure it heals, but that's because your brain is usually clever enough to reroute signals around the damaged or destroyed parts. It'll only kill you outright if it's particularly bad, but lasting sub-clinical brain damage? Yeah, could be. Raises your chances of developing a seizure disorder (see H.M. for an example of a minor injury leading to disability). |
