Can you die if you keep messing with your belly button?

Answer 1

That is a ridiculous statement. Getting your bellybutton pierced can not kill you!

No, it is not a ridiculous statement. An infected piercing, an infected tattoo, or any infection, can possibly lead to death. It is the germs that are dangerous, not the damage done to flesh.

Let's qualify the above statements

1. Doing your own navel piercing can lead to death due to secondary infection.
2. Improper materials can cause reactions that can damage vital organs in the body leading to premature death.
3. Improper aftercare can lead to toxic shock which can result in death.
4. Stupidity has lead to death on more than one occasion.

All the above statements are true

1. Properly performed navel piercing done by a trained and experienced professional body piercer has never resulted in death.
2. Use of proper materials in the provision of a navel piercing has never resulted in death.
3. Proper client aftercare and good hygiene has never resulted in anything more than a nice health piercing.
4. Intelligent research into proper licensed piercing facilities and experienced professional piercers has never resulted in death.

Common sense and using you head will result in you getting a piercing that will last a life time. See a professional body piercer and listen and be patient with the aftercare and healing your piercing is going to require. If you have issues see your piercer without delay and for the love of Pete stay away from stupid answers on the internet. If in doubt see your piercer or your doctor, use that common sense and everything will be fine. But leave body piercing for the professionals. The above statements are also true.

Answer 2

I dont kow if it can kill you, but if it becomes infected, you could get blood poisoning. Its nothing to worry about as it happens very rarely, but in order to prevent blood poisoning, clean the percing 3 times a day. Also, when you change the bar, make sure you wash it in some sort of dis infectant e.g. savlon solution, to make sure that it's sterilized and doesnt get infected.

Answer 3

No, it cannot.
