Potentially Life-Saving Survival Tips as Shared By Internet Users

One Reddit user knew a strange amount of information about tape and how it could be used in an emergency. According to this person, you can use duct and electrical tape instead of a Band-Aid if necessary. Carpet seam tape? Forget about it. According to this mysterious tape lover, carpet seam tape can cause some serious side effects on the human body.

This person knew a carpet installer who used carpet seam tape as a Band-Aid. This guy quickly felt out of sorts and learned that he had blood poisoning. This is just a story we read on the internet, so who knows if it’s true? However, using a real Band-Aid instead of tape is a good rule of thumb. Only use duct tape if it’s a serious emergency.
