bch7773 0 #101 July 17, 2003 more human body trivia: Carbon Dioxide is deadly in concentrations over 10%, but if you don't get any you will die. Giving pure oxygen to newborn babies will make them go blind. Over 70% of heat loss in the human body is through the head. so perhaps its possible to do naked jumps in alaska in winter, as long as you just wear a good hat.

EricaH 0 #104 July 17, 2003 QuoteQuoteIf running away from an aligator, run in a zig-zag pattern. They run up to 35mph on land in a streight line. Also they can push themselves up a tree all the way to the tip of their tail... so don't climb a tree. Also, they only have about 5 lbs of pressure to open their mouths w/, but over 200 lbs of closing force. So if caught... hold it's mouth shut. LOL Admit it, you've never seen an actual alligator. Since alligators only run fast in straight lines, maybe running in a circle and screaming would be the best technique. *** ACTUALLY - I grew up in Bradenton FL & hung out in a bunch of rivers & lakes... saw plenty of alligators up close & personal . The zig-zag thing they taught us in elementary school, right after they told us to shuffle our feet in the ocean so to scare away sting rays. A circle would work, but you'd get no where. The trick to the zig-zag is to make it in about 10 ft incriments, so they have to turn to follow you, therefore slowing down. The tree thing... do not climb one as they will catch up to you before you can get your feet up 6 ft off the ground. It is true that alligators are non-aggressive; but, if they have the odd desire to chase you... it's better to know how to get away. I've actually seen this happen before. But when my friend finally arrived, the 15 or so people around all started screaming & running around - I think the alligator freaked out & went back down the hill to the Manatee river. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Not really. That's a myth based on the idea that CO2 concentrations cause you to breathe more heavily; therefore no CO2 will cause you to stop breathing. (One reason that heavy breathing before a deep dive can help you hold your breath longer - it purges CO2.) However, if that does happen, you have backup O2 sensors in your carotids that do sense oxygen - these will cause you to breathe eventually even if there's no CO2 in your blood. Of course, that never happens anyway. Since we generate CO2 all the time, there's always CO2 in our blood and lungs. So even if you're on 100% oxygen (which pilots often are) you produce enough CO2. >Over 70% of heat loss in the human body is through the head. That's because your nose is in your head, and most of your heat loss in the cold takes place through your lungs, which cannot reduce blood flow to cut down on heat loss. In other words, you're not better off naked with a really good hat (unless you're breathing preheated air.)
