did you know by repeatedly injecting super small amounts of certain poisons your body can develop immunity to it?

Yes, I did watch the Princess Bride, actually.

huh whats that?

I was talking about how they first discovered vaccines...

You know smallpox or whatever its called?

it made you have big welts all over that would bleed...


so what they started doing was taking a small pin and gathering some of the pus from some of the smallpox

then they would take it and scrape it very, very lightly on someones arm (repeatedly, and not all at once)

and guess what? BAM vaccine was born

Uh, that's not poison. That's disease.

oh right wrong story...

the african tribesman would take snakes and harvest their poison. then they would take super small amounts and do the same thing to their children and POW resistance to snake venom

i've been injecting carbon disulfide for weeks now

uh don't know what exactly that does but...

for most poisons that the body is ABLE to cleanse out of the body it works.

those that the body isn't able to mark//break down//expel this method will not work for


oh and by the way you don't inject yourself with it, you scratch it onto you, real lightly, and only a super super small amount if you can squeeze the wound and blood comes out you probably did it too deep

No, what they did was they noticed that some women who milked cows caught cowpox and from that point onwards they couldn't contract smallpox, thus they started injecting a small dose of cowpox into people and the first vaccine was created.

You can never be truly immune to poisons, you can be resistant to it, but never immune to its effects. For instance nicotine is a poison that develops on the leaves of Tobacco plants, when smoked the lungs provide adequate resistance to the smoke and nicotine where it is processed and diluted in mucous and lung membranes, giving that slight feeling of satisfaction. Yet if you get about an oz of tobacco and extract the nicotine, only two drops in someones drink can kill them, even if they are a lifetime smoker with "resistance" to the poison. Even with poison ivy, you can get poison on your skin and develop resistance to the chemical, but if you extract it you're going to be in a load of pain.

Vaccines are completely different, don't get them confused with resistance. Immunity is a very very complicated system which isn't taught in high school.

humm ok well at least we agree it was smallpox XD

but poison or disease i think your body cleanses most of it in a similar manner, via marking with antibodies, ingestion by white blood cells then either broken down or expelled from the system


vaccines are about teaching your immune system to make the right antibody and then your immune system takes care of the issue if it ever gets in your system
