Myths and Misconceptions you would like to dispel?

I think the idea of detox diet is that you eat really "clean" food so that they're not in your body in the first place, no?

The misconceptions about Limerick City are quite tired at this stage.

*puts knife away and backs away slowly*

That teachers have long paid holidays

That people with piercings are deviant. That people with an alternative look are unique. They're neither. Just ordinary people with a different sense of style to what's mainstream.

That menstruation normally comes with crippling pain. It's not normal to be incapacitated and in agony and shouldn't be accepted as part of the burden of being female.

That women are tough for bleeding for five days. It shouldn't be that much blood loss.

That women are raging lunatics with PMS. If any of these things are true for a woman then she deserves medical attention.

Myth that women shouldn't bleed for 5 days or more, anything between 2 and 7 days is considered normal :P[/QUOT

I meant that the notion that we survive *all that bloodloss* like indestructible superhoeros/martyrs is nonsense because it shouldn't be *that much* bloodloss, if it goes on for two days or seven, normally it's a matter of spoonfuls. Five days is just what I've heard it estimated as when people say it.
