A vasectomy is a form of male birth control that cuts the supply of sperm to your semen. It's done by cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm. Vasectomy has a low risk of problems and can usually be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.

No joke This shit made me wash my pp multiple times after the first seconds of this video: I can't even finish watching it myself. And btw is it just me or can you guys also sense a pain in your dick when you see other people injuring theirs?
Context: no this isn't an outcome of dick cheese.With this happening in a 3rd world country, a cut/scratch on his penis managed to get infected with deadly bacteria which quickly spreads and decomposes cells within your body. He sensed to finally go to a hospital after 4 days notice of visible infection, with complaint of oversensitive, inflamed skin being excruciating to any type of contact
I had to suffer watching this shit, and since I didn't want to suffer alone, I sent this here for you guys LMFAO.

Every year, an estimated 59,000 people die from rabies because once symptoms appear, there is little-to-no hope for the infected individual, as there are NO treatment options. This makes it one of the deadliest viruses, with a 99.99% mortality rate.
Here is a more modern case of rabies (CW):
Why are rabies so deadly?
our brains are fragile and easily damaged. Rabies isn't the only brain virus, there are many others, yet none of them have the near 100% mortality rate of rabies in humans (dogs and bats sometimes actually fight it off however). But viral infections of your brain are still very serious, and you can even die from chicken box once it gets into the brain. So to answer the question, you first need to understand why any virus is deadly in the brain.
Our brains are trapped unlike any other organ, inside a pressurized shell of bone, the skull. That means there is no room for any swelling. You can die just from a little bleeding in the brain because the pressure from the blood. When a virus attacks, the swelling can be enough to cause damage or change how the brain normally works, or it can be bad enough to cut off blood flow to parts of the brain.
The immune system is somewhat restricted in the brain because of #1 above. You don't want any swelling. So it's like building a really tall wall but with no soldiers inside. That's a good defense unless someone sneaks in, then you're dead. Rabies is unique in that instead of using the blood stream which is where the wall to the brain is, they sneak in through nerves channels. like a secret door into the castle.
All viruses do some damage in the beginning while your immune system ramps up. If it's a sore throat , no big deal. the cells die and get replaced. But your brain is a very finely tuned instrument. And damage or even just change to the chemistry of the brain can lead to death. Your brain doesn't have the ability to heal like other tissues. Damage may be permanent and cumulative. It takes a few weeks for your immune system to eliminate rabies but it only takes a few days to disrupt the brain enough to stop your heart and breathing. In other words you don't have to kill brain cells to make them stop working.
Initial symptoms of rabies:
Headache, Fever, Fatigue, Tingling at site of exposure
Rabies-specific symptoms:
Hallucinations, excessive salivation, light sensitivity, hydrophobia, insomnia, agression.
Extra:
these are some examples of hydrophobia in rabies patients (CW):
Once these symptoms appear, the patient is too far gone. Every patient in this post is dead.
