Why did you faint when you had your ears pierced?

Answer 1

Well a few things listed below should cover this question: # Your didn't eat about a half hour before your appointment. # Your blood sugar was out of whack. # The studio was too hot. # You were too excited. # You were dehydrated. Your body goes into the fight or flight response when you have no control of your situation or environment just like getting a piercing, you don't know what to expect and your system generated Adrenalin and Endorphins both of these chemicals are dumped into your blood stream and in generating these chemicals your body burns sugar at a very high rate. Faster than your body can create the sugar it needs from the fat in your body, so you get the ringing ears the tunnel vision and "bang" you are out like a cheap light bulb. All professional body piercers know the signs of a fainter and will take care of you if you do faint. No worries it's just a body reset switch, you got over loaded and your internal circuit breaker popped and reset it's self, now you know for next time.
