  • graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
  • never broken a bone.
  • never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
  • can't say "never" any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
  • have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.

What? You never went to hospital?

[–] radix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Nope.

First blood draw was just shy of 43yo, and that was for a new life insurance policy, so it was a contract nurse in my own living room.

I have become more familiar with the hospital recently, however.
