Can sharpies make you sick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how you are using them. If you are drawing on yourself, you would need about 8 sharpie worth of ink to get skin poisoning. If you are sniffing them, too much would result in insufficient oxygen to the brain, which could kill you. If you are eating them... You would die.

Do bananas cause urinary infections?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Urinary tract infections (also known as bladder infections) are caused by bacteria in the urinary tract and may be exacerbated by overly-sugary urine.

Females are particularly prone to this as the urethra is located close to the anus.


Always urinate after sex and masturbation.


If you have ongoing urinary tract infections:


Take a probiotic eg. garlic or unsweetened yoghurt with 'good' bacteria every day.


Consider looking into whether your diet includes too many simple sugars.


Consider whether you have thrush. This does not just include vaginal thrush but can be very serious in the gut and blood stream. This is caused by antibiotics, which you have probably taken if you have had a urinary tract infection.
