“Can You Live Without a Spine?”

Are you familiar with the term “CYBERCHONDRIA“? There’s a pretty good chance YOU . . . or someone you know suffers from it. Cyberchondria, is when you obsessively Google health stuff online. Someone looked at the top health questions people in all 50 states google more than other states. And it’s pretty clear, some people were sleeping in Health Class! Here are a few of the highlights . . .

• Arkansas is wondering “What causes hemorrhoids?”
• While next-door neighbor Mississippi, is also asking about them, specifically, “What ARE hemorrhoids?” (They’re swollen veins if you weren’t sure)
• California is asking “Why do I pee when I sneeze?” (“Why do I pee when I cough?” is also a top search in Texas.)
• Kentucky:  “Why does coffee make you poop?”  . . . and also, “Can you live without a SPINE?” (that’s a hard no).
• Maryland has been asking, “Why are my eyes red?” (They also just legalized weed last year, so . . .)
• And finally, here in Ohio:  “Can you die from a broken heart?” (Must have been a particularly TOUGH Valentine’s Day here in Ohio)
