Scar triangle on arm

    Who here has the vaccination scars on their arm (three sideways oval kinda yokes in the shape of a triangle) on the upper arm?

    I do. Born in late 80s. My friends do, my mum does, and my foreign friends think it’s weird.

    It’s from the BCG vaccination that you get in Ireland when you are a baby, and possibly something against smallpox as well.

    Haven’t noticed them in years until somebody pointed them out.

    Weird baby scars!

    I have 2 dots that look like eyes. I remember one of them bursting and yellow gunk coming out.

    That was the mercury that Monsanto put in it.

    I think I must have missed some vaccinations because I don't have those scars but I'm in the age bracket that should.

    Two dots on top of the arm are for polio?

    Or was that the ubiquitous sugar lump?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭Church on Tuesday


    I don't have this, I do remember getting some kind of vaccine though in primary school though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,995 ✭✭✭Ipso


    I remember one with a series of dots shaped like a circle.

    Lucky you, I had someone grab my balls while I coughed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,361 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    It's cooties vaccine, don't panic.

    Circle, circle, dot, dot now you've got your cooties shot. ;)

    So if anyone has only 3, they haven't been fully protected against cooties so please be careful people!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,004 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    I got this but it's because I had a frozen Laughing Cow lobbed at me when I was a child.

    I have the triangle also.

    What type of needles did they use to cause the scars?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Have you any time unaccounted for, or been probed by an unexpected guest in the night?

    The scars are deliberate I believe. They're recognised internationally as you having had the vaccine.

    Thanks kneemos

    Pretty sure that's not true though

    The day we were getting them done in school only about six or seven pupils were sent out at a time to wait outside the room where the nurse was. The teacher had to come looking for me as i never returned to class with the rest of the group, I kept leaving everybody else go ahead of me in the queue so i could avoid class for longer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Rubberchikken


    i have mine.
    only wish it was from the 80s though:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 926 ✭✭✭BuboBubo


    One of them was for diphtheria, I've no idea what the others are though. I got the sugar lump in primary school, I think that was a polio vaccine.

    I suffered through measles and the mumps as a child, anti-vaxers are promoting cruelty imo! The MMR was introduced in the 80's, so I didn't benefit from that :(

    Born in the 70's btw.

    Edit - one of them was for whooping cough, another was for tetanus I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭Mean Laqueefa


    Born in 82 , have them aswell. Cannot remember a thing about it though.


    My best mate has them, used to tell me he got shot by a predator lol i believed that wanker while i was very young hahaha

    That mentions 'Spartan Virus DNA'. In the film '300', Lena Headey, who played Queen Gorgo, had a visible immunisation scar. :pac:

    The triangle is the first signs of autism, get yourself checked op, autism is highly contagious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭Neon_Lights


    I for one would like to raise a token of solidarity to my triangle armed people! Up you congruent triangular bastids!

    I have two of them next to each other. They're not triangles anymore, and have become much less defined over the years. I had a few other immunization scars from different jabs, but I just checked myself, and they are almost completely gone.

    I've been tested a few times, no autism. Just Type 1 diabetes, which is ironic since there's so much research into the BCG jab preventing T1D now...

    At least my body seems to be good at patching up the holes!!!
