are cooties actually fatal?

The word "cooties" is usually the children's term to describe head lice.  These are actually little bugs that live in hair; usually light-colored hair.  It is NOT fatal or even something that will make you sick.  Having a problem with head lice is limited in time also, until you get the right shampoo to kill the lice and the eggs.\n\nThe term "cooties" is not something that actually exists.  It is only a slang word to insult other children.

Yeah... a couple of examples: too little in the way of some vitamins will kill you.  Not enough C= scurvy, which is deadly (immune system compromise and other things) and affected many English sailors.  Not enough D= rickets, which could possibly be fatal to a young child from loss of bone mass.  Not enough B1 (thiamine)= beriberi, which is a systemic disorder something like scurvy that can kill.  Not enough protein= kwashiorkor, which is also lethal.\n\nAlso, too much A can burn up your liver (so can acetaminophen, which is Tylenol).  Too much B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) can cause nerve damage.  Too much D or calcium can cause calcium stones, which aren't fatal, but if you get one in your kidneys and can't urinate as a result, you'll wish you were dead.  I am sure there are others, too... and if you drink too much water, as some people who are compulsive do, you can actually drown yourself... :)

no, but they can die from the cause of jaundice, such as liver failure, or cirrhosis, or not enough bile

definately not.  \n\nI was so sad when he died.  He died from cancer.

Absolutely not. People believed that the eggs could be carried on shoes and eventually hatch somewhere else. If a cockroach dies then so does the eggs because they cannot survive in a dead body or outside of it. To kill them is a matter of personal preference, squash them,spray them or put poison down

If you find a catish caught on a trotline or such and it is dead.  A good rule of thumb is to look at the gills.  if they are pink, then it just died and the fish is still good.  if they are white, then dont take any chances by eating the meat.

well, albino squirells have a pretty small chance of surviving, so you could report it

yes, bird flu is deadly, no, the baby bird probably did not die from it.

i don't think so, so no. they will never die, but their hunger status will be like something that makes you think they are dieing.

Nah, is does not kill 20% of people who attempt to climb it. It's high (7000m), but the standard route up it requires no technical mountaineering experience as such (I climbed it earlier this year). It is however an exercise in acclimatisation and AMS is common.\n\nThere are more serious routes on the South Face (the most severe side in that hemisphere) where fatalities are more common, but due to the footfall the normal route receives (3500 ascents per annum) these do not make up 20% to my knowledge.

they might give you a long day on the porcelain throne, but unless you eat a couple pounds, unless they are contaimated with a seriously bad type of fungi, i doubt they will kill you.\n\nbut soaking them for a while like earlier suggested was a great idea!

I'm with Simo - the popular myth is that a horse was being lowered on to her for sexual purposes but it fell and killed her instead...Wikipedia denies "horse sex death" but not very convincingly....\n\n[From Wikipedia] A common urban myth states that Catherine died as a result of her voracious sexual appetite while attempting sexual intercourse with a stallion - supposedly the harness broke and she was crushed. There is no truth to this fable. This myth is rather common even in modern times and most propagators of it fail to realize (or consciously ignore) that she died at the age of 67.\nThis myth coexists with another, less physically impossible but also totally unsubstantiated myth, that Catherine did engage in a sexual relationship with a stallion, although at a younger age.\n\nBasically it's possible that she did die from a horse falling on her an inoportune time - the fact that she was 67 makes no difference. A pervert is a pervert at any age ;)

Truthfully, i believe yes.  My boss was well-off and happy then her partner died.  She died a week later.  \nAnd if all else fails look at elderly couples.  That happens a lot.
