These days, love bites or hickeys have become a way to show love. If you kiss your shoulder or neck for a long time, a red mark appears. This is called a love bite. But have you ever thought? Love bites can also cost you your life… Yes, it is true. A young woman from New Zealand lost her life due to a love bite. So, find out how life can be lost due to a love bite? Along with this, how to get rid of hickey marks…
Love bites do not always cost you your life. After a few hours, this mark also goes away. But if this mark does not go away for a long time and its color changes from red to purple, and there is pain in that place, then be careful. The veins may be damaged. In medical terms, pressure is put on the carotid artery. The veins get blocked. Due to this, the brain does not get oxygen. This increases the risk of stroke.
In many cases, there is a possibility of carotid artery rupture due to love bite. There are two important arteries on both sides of the neck. Which maintain the proper flow of blood. If there is too much pressure on this nerve, then it ruptures. Blood clots form. There is also a possibility of sudden increase in blood flow in the brain. This can cause dizziness, heart attack. There is also a possibility of paralysis of one part of the body.
What to do?
If there is a love bite mark, then rub ice. This will improve the blood flow. The scar will disappear. After rubbing ice for 2 to 3 days, shake it with warm water. Doing this will make the hickey heal. Shake it 3 to 4 times a day. If you still feel pain and the scar does not go away, then consult a doctor immediately.
